Bend to Eugene - crossing the Cascades

Which route is best to take over the Cascades with a Class A with a toad?

Looks like Hwy 58 or Hwy 20 are the most direct but are the passes low enough and the roads ok for a 37 ft diesel pusher hauling a Jeep?

Or would we be better off another way?
  • We took 22/20 from Salem, road was in good condition with no difficult grades, I would expect the more southern route to be similar. 126 would be more direct than 58.
  • Having driven all those routes many times in all kinds of weather and cars/trucks/rvs. I would take 20 to 126 (McKenzie Hwy) to Eugene/Springfield. You pickup 126 after the summit. Very nice drive and the most direct route. Enjoy.
