Easiest way to go to baguio from manila

**jut703** · September 13th, 2017 11:59 PM

Sobrang tagal pa matatapos ng Pozzorubio exit. Halos wala pa ngang paved road after Binalonan TPLEX. Yung kabilang dulo naman sa Pozzorubio exit mismo connecting to McArthur, hindi rin sementado. Most likely mga 1-2 years pa yan.

I went up Baguio yesterday via Kennon and a rock fell on my trunk, resulting in a small dent and chipped paint.

I still don't have my touch up paint available but hopefully it doesn't rust til then.

It wasn't raining whatsoever and this is the first time in many years of traversing Kennon that I actually fell victim to falling rocks. Oh well. Weather is good though so I still might pass by Kennon going down - let's see if it's just a one-off event or sheer bad luck. 😂

Uggh. Unlucky bro. Should be an easy fix though. Was it a loud thud?

Yup. Road was clear and I was cruising leisurely then I heard a thud and I knew it was a rock. Didn't expect visible damage, but whoops, there it was.

Assuming the weather is fine, Kennon road is an easy 30-minute drive.

An hour or more.

In reality, Marcos highway (or whatever its called now) is the route for trucks, buses, lorries, and any other vehicle that is too big to fit in Kennon's tight bends.

Suicidal? No. It's just a twisty road going up a bunch of mountains.

Kennon is not that bad. There is enough distances between bends to pass slower vehicles.

They say it gets tricky during the rainy season as some portions of Kennon only have a single usable lane.

the road is good and smooth and maybe the drivers there are somewhat predictable. my issue is the loose rocks.
