Lion's Head
Lion's Head, Kennon Road
A giant lion's head carved into a cliff beside Kennon Road, a classic photo stop on the way into and out of Baguio.
The lion's head is about 12 m high and was carved into the limestone cliff by the Lions Club in the 1970s. It has become Baguio's gateway landmark. Visitors driving Kennon Road, which winds steeply and dramatically, often stop to take photos, and souvenir and snack stalls line the roadside. The rainy season can bring rockfalls and landslides that close the road, so check conditions before setting out. You can also take a taxi straight from the city center, a trip of about 20 to 30 minutes.
