Baguio's Gateway Update: All Roads Open Except the Scenic Kennon!

🚗✨ Baguio's national roads are mostly open for your adventure, but beware, Kennon Road is still closed! Discover what this means for your trip!

BAGUIO CITY – Tourists and locals rejoiced this week when the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) announced that all national roads leading to the enchanting city of Baguio are now open and passable. This news comes as a relief to many, especially given that Baguio is known for its vibrant culture, cooler climate, and breathtaking sceneries – making it a prime destination for travelers seeking a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. However, it's worth noting that the picturesque Kennon Road remains closed, which has raised some eyebrows among frequent visitors.

Kennon Road is not just any road; it's a famous gateway to the summer capital of the Philippines, offering travelers stunning views of the mountains and lush landscapes. While the closure is unfortunate, alternative routes such as Marcos Highway and Asin Road are available for those eager to visit Baguio. These routes may not offer the same level of breathtaking vistas as Kennon, but they certainly ensure a smooth journey nonetheless. The locals are working hard to keep the other routes clear, ensuring that the influx of visitors can safely reach the city and enjoy the various attractions it has to offer.

The DPWH continues to monitor road conditions and will inform the public promptly should there be progress regarding the reopening of Kennon Road. They aim to maintain safety for travelers while also allowing easy access for those wanting to experience Baguio's famous cool breeze and breathtaking landscapes. With various festivals, flower parks, and a true cool climate feeling, Baguio is still very accessible even without the iconic Kennon Road.

Besides the scenic beauty and cultural richness of Baguio, it should also be remembered how significant this city is to Filipino heritage. Baguio is home to the famous Burnham Park and the idyllic Camp John Hay, making it the ultimate destination for both leisure and adventure seekers. Traveling to this northern gem is not just a journey; it's also a way to experience the warmth and hospitality the locals offer. So pack your bags and hit the road – Baguio awaits!
