Kennon Road (N54)

Kennon Road, also known as the Rosario–Baguio Road, is a two lane 33.53-kilometer (20.83 mi) roadway in Benguet province in the Philippines connecting the mountain city of Baguio in Benguet to the lowland town of Rosario in La Union province. The project began in 1903 and opened for travel on January 29, 1905. Originally called Benguet Road, it was later renamed in honor of its builder, Col. Lyman Walter Vere Kennon of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is the second oldest road that leads to Baguio, after Quirino Highway, and the shortest route to Baguio for travelers from Manila and provinces in central and southern Luzon.

Kennon Road is one of the three main highways connecting Baguio City to the lowlands of La Union.

There are several villages along the highway which are designated as Camp 1 (from the lowland terminal point) to Camp 8 (the highland terminal point). Both Camp 8 and Camp 7 are the Baguio part of Kennon Road. All villages of Camp 6, Camp 5, Camp 4, Camp 3, Camp 2, and Camp 1 along Kennon Road belong to the township of Tuba, Benguet.
