Next summer we would like to take Hwy 26 in Oregon from Redmond to John Day and then to Baker City on 7 OR better yet continue on Hwy 26 to Payette, ID and on to Boise. How is it for getting diesel along this route? We have a 26 gal diesel tank on F250 towing a 30' fifth wheel. We are wanting to go southeast and get over onto I-84. Never been in this area before. Will avoid SE Oregon since there are hardly any towns to get fuel. THANKS so much in advance for advice.
took Oregon 26 out of Prineville heading to the east several years ago. Swore never to bother again... a rather dry ugly drive, curvy, dirty, kinda slow in spots. Certainly do-able, though. Since you are going to John Day, you really don't have much other choice without adding many miles. We always take Highway 20 when traveling through Oregon now ... a much superior drive. You can do Highway 26 but don't expect too much for the view or the drive.... ?
