Best Route from Bryce Canyon to Bend, Or then Portland, Or
Hello All,
I'm currently Workamping for Ruby's inn at Bryce Canyon National Park. I plan to leave on Oct 19. I'll make a multi-day stop at Bend, Oregon, then on to my end destination, Portland, Oregon.
My question is which route to take to lessen the chance of snow (a 4-letter word!) and Ice. I'll be driving my 36" Dolphin towing a Kia Soul on a dolly.
I know there are several possibilities for the Bend to Portland leg, but probably only 1 for the Bryce to Bend leg. I've had a lot of experience driving on snow and ice, but in a car, not 50' of motorhome and car.
I have driven Hwy 26 from Portland to Bend in a car, but that was 30 years ago. I've not driven the other potential routes... West from Bend to I-5? North to I-84? Maybe Hwy 26 is the better choice? I'm not concerned about miles or time of travel. I've got a very flexible plan to be in Portland sometime the first week of November.
Better to listen to experience!
Thanks,
Mike
