Oregon route to the coast

What route is the safest for RVers from Sisters, Oregon to Newport, Oregon. Thanks
  • We either the 22 to Salem and I-5 down to 34 to Corvallis and then 20 to Newport. Or..... we take 126 to Eugene and north on I-5 to 34 to Corvallis and then 20 to Newport.

    Hwy 20 to Sweet Home/Lebanon is very twisty with several 15 mph curves. We have gone that way a couple of times, but do not recommend it.

    As mentioned, Hwy 22 to Salem over to Hwy 18 is a very good road, but you have to go through city streets in Salem and Lincoln City. Lots of traffic and stop lights.

  • 22 west to 18 at Valley Junction is a good road. 101 south thru Lincoln City can be a pain on Sundays.
