Highway 66 in Oregon

I would like to know if any one has traveled on highway 66? It runs between Ashland and Klamath Falls I would like to know if the road is ok for RV's Since highway 97 is closed I need another road. Thank You.
  • I believe there is construction on OR 160 and it’s a longer route
  • Oregon Tripcheck doesn't have anything about US 97 being closed.
    I would take OR 66 and figure on taking it slow and easy.
    No, I haven't been over it. On map, it looks like a secondary state highway.
  • I would also like to know where 97 is closed. I don't see a closure on either OR or CA transportation maps.

    I asked a few years ago about getting from Klamath Falls over to I-5. I was told on here to take 140 and not to take 66. So I took 140. It was a nice drive.
  • The local news are saying that highway 97 is still close from Weed,ca.for 40 miles North.
  • Hwy. 97 has been open and closed off and on because of the fire close to 97 between Weed and the Oregon border.
    I posted a answer over on the RV Parks, Campgrounds and Attractions page. about Hwy 66! don't take 66
  • 66 and Dead Indian to the north have some serious twisties. 140 will be longer, but probably more fun with a RV. Klamath Falls is nearly as high as the Cascade Crest. You can examine these routes in detail on Google Maps.
  • I've driven it pulling a 29' TT and had no problems. It does get winding and has some steady grade so just take it slow and easy.
  • Dial 511 to check road conditions on your cell or home phone. I have taken 140 a few times in my RV with toad and it is a good highway.

  • If headed north you might want to take OR62 and go around the north side of Crater Lake (or though the park from the south).
