West Yellowstone area to Coos Bay OR

Will be leaving Red Rock RV Park (Island Park, ID) Aug. 4th for Coos Bay and am looking at taking 20 to 126 then to the coast.

Thoughts? Alternates? CG's along the way?

Thanks in advance.
  • 20 or 26 out of Ontario are both good roads. I would keep right on 20/22 toward Salem and either keep going west or drop south to Corvallis to the coast. Both are nice easy drives

    Thanks.

    Ever take 126 out of Springfield to Florence?
  • Not my preferred route. For you I would still suggest 22 to valley junction and 18 to the coast. Or south on i5 maybe 20 miles and go thru Corvallis Philomath to the coast. The coast is a dont miss drive. You could also go about 20 miles south of Eugene over to the coast. Comes out at Reedsport. From there its a short drive to coos bay

    We went up the 101, full length Oregon into Washington, last year and indeed it is a beautiful drive.

    With that think we will stay South this trip and use 126 to the 1-5 then South to 99 and 38 to Reedsport and the 101 to Coos Bay.

    Thanks again.
  • On the 6th we left Red Rock RV Park (Island Park, ID) on 20 to 126 to the 1-5 then South to 99 and 38 to Reedsport and the 101 to Coos Bay arriving yesterday. Good route and would take that again.

    Stops were in Vale, Burns and Bend for overnights.

    Thanks for the info ahead of time.
