Lion's Head

The Lion's Head is a 40-foot tall sculpture carved from a natural limestone boulder along Kennon Road in Camp 6, Tuba, Benguet, serving as the iconic gateway to Baguio City. Created in the early 1970s by artist Anselmo Dayag for the Lions Club of Baguio, the monument features a lion's head painted in black and gold. It is a popular roadside stop for travelers for photos, souvenir shopping, and views of the surrounding mountain highway.

Visitors can expect a large lion's head sculpture carved into a limestone boulder directly beside Kennon Road. The site includes a short flight of concrete steps leading to a viewing platform in front of the sculpture for photos. Surrounding the monument are souvenir shops and food stalls selling local products. The setting is a mountain highway with forested slopes and road traffic, functioning as a brief stopover rather than an enclosed park.

Conceived by members of the Lions Club of Baguio, notably Luis Lardizabal, as a symbol for the club and gateway to Baguio. Carved from a natural limestone boulder along Kennon Road in the early 1970s by Cordilleran artist and woodcarver Anselmo Dayag with assistance, and later painted in gold and black. It has since been repainted and restored several times and remains a landmark of the Kennon Road highway built during the American colonial period.

Serves as the symbolic gateway to Baguio City and the Benguet highlands and as an emblem of the Lions Club. It is a widely recognized cultural landmark and popular souvenir stop representing the mountain city for domestic travelers.
