Good route from Denver to Newport, Oregon
Trying to plan a trip from the Denver area to just south of Newport, Oregon with a 5th wheel. Would like to try to avoid really steep mountain passes if at all possible. Looking at taking I-25 north ...

Be sure and check with the Oregon Health Dept . regarding the New Port numbers on the Virus. Last I heard Newport was a real hot spot in the number of virus cases.
1.Take a look at Hwy.80 straight to Sacremento. The go north to Hwy. 20 at Williams then west to 101. Then you have straight drive north along the Oregon coast to Newport Or. This route is the most RV friendly going around Clear Lake.This is my prefrence if I am looking for a leisurely RV friendly route. Normally I take I-5 to Oregon 138.
2.Or, you could keep going north to Redding Ca. taking Hwy 299 west to 101 at Acarta ca. Hwy. 299 can be a little slower if there is construction going on.
3. Or, you could continue north of I-5. You have 1 big hill but is not that long over to Ashland Or. then take Hwy. 138 west to Florence. Suggest you stop at the Canyonville Casino RV Park. Super nice park.
4. The route you posted. The Dalles along the Columbian river can get a little windy.
I have driven all the routes in a 34' 5th. wheel. Be sure and check the CARR (California State Road conditions) application on your iPhone.
