I am going to be driving down from Portland to Grants Pass Oregon this August, and I want to take a scenic drive.
Looking at the 101, the drive times double to almost 9 hours.
Is it worth it? Is there a lot to see?
My time is kinda limited in what I can do, so no camping, or any major stops. Just a drive down. Solo.
Any /O/regon fags here? Looking for the best route.

a more refined path. Saves 2 hours.
Definitely more scenic than i5, as long as you aren't stuck behind a motor home should be a real nice drive.
What is the best road to take from Portland to the 101, and back from the 101 towards I-5?
Looking for maximum twisties.
I rode from Corvallis on hwy 34 to waldport, then from there to San Francisco on my motorcycle last summer. 20/10 experience I highly recommend it. If you are going purely to get somewhere, you are probably better off taking 5.

Does 30 take you to the coast? Either way, I highly recommend stopping at tillamook

30 and Tillamook is way too far north for me, cant do a 12 hour drive.

Yeah that's what I thought. Honestly, if you really want a fun drive and still want to save some time, take i5 to Corvallis, then take 34 to waldport and take 101 down to where you turn off for grants pass. 34 is one of the most twisty hektik roads you can drive. And it doesn't have much traffic because it only goes to waldport and Mary's peak

I'd actually second that, 34 with the right car is pretty fun, don't think you'd go wrong either way though.

That's one thing I miss about Oregon, those store twisty turns right before you get to Mary's peak were pure bliss.

Thanks.
What best route to take back? Any recommendations on that?
42 looks hella hektic
>>15072626
sure why not.

aside that it might be a service road in shit condition.
>>15071834
it's way out of the way, but if you have the time to go over the McKenzie pass it is well worth it
>>15074113
yah, no time for that. has to be along the way south to GP, and not take more than 8 hours overall
>>15071834
Not exactly on the way, but 14 headed east from portland is a fun line. 1 lane each way, but if you pick a good time its a blast.
