They say that your trip to Baguio is not complete without visiting the Lion's Head. I guess this is because this statute is located at the entrance of Baguio City using the old route. A new road was constructed to provide better and safely access to Baguio City. Marcos Avenue is now the public road towards Baguio City so the Lion's Head can no longer welcome you to the city of pines. We now need to take a special trip to greet the Pines' King and complete your Baguio trip.
The Lion Park is located along the famous Kennon Road. This road was obviously named after its builder, Col. Lyman Walter Vere Kennon. His head was also carved in stone and was also placed along this road but the mighty head of the lion overpowers the head of the late military engineer.
This is how deep and how high the cliff along Kennon Road. We can never ignore the curve, wavy and bend lane drifting all the way down from the top of the mountain. Climbing up can never be easy and is always a challenge. One miss turn and you will fall off the cliff. Thanks be to God for keeping us safe.
It is reasonable to just close this road during rainy days. So when it rains, you can never complete your Baguio trip and you need to come back again when the sun is smiling over this mountain ranges.
We looked not that happy looking at this big stone. We were obviously not a fan.
Tourists keep on coming. Thanks to Davies for repainting the most famous stone in Baguio. But I am not expecting the color to be like that. I imagine the head to look like an ancient one. Something that can scare off the intruders.
"Almighty Father, restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me by Your generous spirit."
