KENNON ROAD
Named after Col. Lyman W. Kennon who was the final builder of the famous Benguet road, with the help of the industrious Cordillerans and foreign workers. Kennon Road is the shortest and the most scenic highway linking Baguio and the lowlands. The Lion's head can be found along the way.
Final construction of this road was finished in 1903. Col. L. Kennon first ascended to Baguio in 1905. Of the original workers, the Igorots and Japanese were admired for their trustworthiness and willingness to work.
Kennon was closed due to traffic after the July 16, 1990 earthquake. It is now open to light vehicles.
