53 is a great road if your on a motorcycle. Otherwise its 25 miles of lots of twists.
26 is a major 2 lane highway, no problems what so ever except road construction.
As an alternative, and ambetter route I would suggest 101 north to Seaside and 26 into Portland. In fact a better suggestion would be 101 to Astoria, 20 east and cross the bridge at Longview, I5 north and cut over the mountains north of Mt St Helens.

Oh so true!
We towed our old 28' King of the Road on Hay 53 ONCE! It was a Thursday it was curvey and had to also deal with loaded log trucks. Once we got to campground and the microwave had jumped out of cabinet, and was on the floor! This was a household unit, it was a snug fit in the opening and with a 3/4" lip to get over.
