If you are heading west I would fuel up in Ontario too, if I remember right there is not but one or two places to fuel up between their and Burns. As someone said the speed limit is 55.

All two lane roads in Oregon are 55 mph max.

We drove from Ontario to Bend on State road 26 to go the Redmond for the Good Sam Rally in 2011, and plan to go back and spend more time on the whole route. We weren't in a hurry so it was very enjoyable.

There are numerous campgrounds in the forests and great scenery around almost every turn.

Between Ontario and Bend, Hwy 20 is pretty decent. A couple of places where you climb/drop, and some tighter corners where you need to watch your speed.

And the OSP/county mounties, as noted by The Texan, can be a PITA, they're not big fans of out-of-state plates.

Have a great trip!

Just watch out for deputy dog from Brothers east, for 20± miles, he has several parking places on that stretch that he monitors traffic. He does NOT like speeders.

Pretty rustic, watch out for the covered wagons :)

Seriously though as good as anywhere else. I prefer Hwy 26 though. Prettier.

We came thru there last week and they are very nice roads. High speed limit 2 lane roads. Very little traffic, wide open spaces, bordering on boring.

I drove Bend to Burns last fall, an easy drive. Good road for condition, gentle curves. It's been too long since I pave gone from Burns to Ontario but don't recall it's too curvy. I highly recommend driving an hour south of Burns and take in the Steens Mountain. If near Burns and you like hot springs, check out Crystal Crane Hot Springs.
