Oregon

We will be taking our yearly vacation in Sept and we will be traveling from Wichita Falls TX to Custer SD then over to Cody WY. From there we are heading to Grants Pass OR and would like to know what is the best way to go from Cody WY to Grants Pass OR. We are pulling a 40 foot Columbus weight approx 16000 lbs. Thanks for the help

  • I would come straight west from Cody on 14 through Yellowstone, take Hwy US 20 to Twin Falls across I 15 to I84. Then US 20 near Ontario, OR to Eugene, then south to Grant Pass.
    Option would be to turn south at Bend, then south to OR 140 near Lakeview

    That's about the route we're planning on to get to Portland. But we have a stop in Ritzville to see an old friend and want to see SD and MT sites we missed years ago on our previous cross country trips.
