A more viable alternative is Marcos Highway, although it is not as spectacular and it is a slightly longer route this highway is less nerve-wracking, less winding and the roads are wider, If in Kennon Road you can see a solid rock Lion head, Marcos Highway offers a glimpse of the manmade sculpture of slightly mauled head of former President Marcos. *
