highway 97 in Oregon

[Golden_boys]

Has anyone taken route 97 from Oregon into California. We want to avoid the area near Portland. We will hook up with I-5 in CA to visit the Redwood Forest. Thank you SemperFi

Great drive. Slow thru Madras Redmond and Bend

Have driven 97 down to K-Falls. Good, mostly 2 lane blacktop with some bypasses around the major towns on the route. Somewhat curvy in the north section with some minor climbs, but south of Bend it is pretty straight!! You will enjoy the drive.
