route to newport, oregon

[mansfield]

Hi, (guess I should have posted my question here in the first place.) Which route is the best for rvers going from Sisters, Oregon to Newport, Oregon. I prefer Hwy 22 to Hwy 20,as there are no passes to contend with,(except Santiam of course) but need to know where to get to Hwy 34 Thanks

What?? 34 doesn't go to Florence...it goes to Waldport.

If you take 20 over the mountains and NOT cut off on 34 in Lebanon, you'll have to go through all of Albany and Corvallis...... not good!'

So, to answer your question. Look for the 34 in Lebanon.

When at Lebanon (on 20), you need to cut off on 34. It will go directly west to Corvallis (and bypassing the town area) where it will reconnect with 20 that will take you to Newport.

However, that said. Hwy 20 over the mountains is a really curvy road..several 15mph curves and many 25 or 35. While it is shorter, it will probably take you longer than if you take 22 to I-5 and then south on I-5 to the 34. Or take 126 to Eugene and then north on I-15 to the 34.

Much depends upon what you are driving. A little info would be helpful.

Straight out 20 all the way to newpot. No reason to look for 34 to get to Newport. If leaving the coast later - 34 takes off eastbound from Florence.
