Hillsboro, OR to Tillamook

Thanks for the information.

thanks for asking this question. I am going there in two weeks and was wondering the same thing. I will now be using Hwy 6.

Just do not trust your Garmin.

I did from McMinnville to Tillamook. It took me on some back roads and some which were not much more than a logging road. I have had Garmin do this in Oregon and Arizona.

But the McMinnville to Tillamook was not all bad. I was not towing and was in a rental Outback. At the time we were thinking of buying an Outback which is the reason we rented the Outback. There were some steep hills and many curves. Gave the Outback a good test and when we got home I bought a 2012 3.6R Outback and love the car.

I have taken 8 to 6 many times, you just have to watch what lanes to be in going thru Forest Grove. I have also taken 8 to 47 over to 6, going that way you don't cross traffic getting onto 6. 6 is good highway just a lot of curves. We like to stay 6 miles out of Tillamook at Wilson River RV Park on hwy 6. All the highways to the coast can be very busy on Fridays & Sundays. Dick

Either 26 to 6 or 8 to 6 will be fine. Only thing with the 8 route is you have to go through Forest Grove at about 25mph. 6 into Tillamook is probably a better road than you will find 101 to be.
