Oregon Routing

Craig Rollins:
We are currently enroute to Newport, OR and will be stopping at BCS in Bend on the way. Not being familiar with Oregon's  roads, I am a little unsure of what is the best route to follow. Our current location is just southeast of Boise, ID and so I'm trying to determine whether I want to take Route US20 to the south or US26 to the north. I know that many of you are very well acquainted with the area and so I'm seeking your advise and expertise in determining which way to go from here.

Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.

My wife and I used the northern route last year but it was the middle of summer so road conditions were great. Nice drive and great scenery.

We took Hwy 20 with our TT many times so when we bought the Beaver in Bend enroute to Lebanon we went the same way......not quite the same and I put a couple of pinstripes on the passenger side from branches.  Great maiden voyage.

It's very windy and tight but can be done if you take it slow and easy.  Also, when you see a sign that says 25 mph around the corners you best belive it as there is not only a tight turn but a big bump.

On the up side, it is shorter and lots of MH take that route.

We took the northern route on the return trip.

I have taken 20 about 30 times and it was a good route for me. It is shorter then 26.  Have a good trip.

I would too vote for US 20 from Ontario to Bend ... piece of cake and quite scenic at least as far as Burns ... kind of boring there after til just outside of Bend.
