Hello and thaks to all I advance!

Heading to Oregon this summer and wondering about the best route from Bend, Oregon over to Lincoln City,OR?

You might want to watch road condition reports before you leave Bend. We did that same route a couple of summers ago and had to detour southward about 1/4 - 1/3 the way out of Bend due to an unexpected road construction closure. No big deal, a little slower but very scenic.

Wapiti RV Park south of Lincoln city is being upgraded now that the Elks have sold it. Worth considering.

Also "Sea and Sand RV Park" a few miles south of Lincoln City in Depoe Bay. Has normal forest sites, as well as sites facing the ocean.

When passing thru OTIS on 18, look for the Otis Cafe. Great food, breakfast is to live for. We've eaten at other times and the food was great then too, but German Potatoes and eggs over easy on top with their home made salsa. One of two places I put anything on grill potatoes or eggs.

Molasses bread or pumpkin bread to take with you. The sticky, gooey cinnamon rolls ain't too bad either.

I would say easiest but if you can provide a scenic & easy one?? I just really want the easiest in all seriousness?

20 to 22 to 18 then south on 101.

That way you avoid Portland traffic. And it is still a very scenic route. Mostly a two lane road with passing lanes on the hills, but generally traffic isn't bad. Least traffic would be during the week.

Or you can take Hwy 20 all way over to Newport and up, I will say if you are going at night I don't suggest that route.

If you want to see some of the Oregon Coast I'd head to Eugene/Florence and up, but you'll add a hour or so to the trip.

This way. Stop for overnight at Spirit Mt. Casino for decent food, we usually eat in the sports bar, and say hello to my wife's money. Good RV lot plenty security.

Define best
most scenic?
shortest?
quickest?
easiest drive?
most things to stop and see?
something else?

Lots of choices depending on what you want
