US 20

Anybody have any input on US-20 between Corvallis, OR, and Newport, OR? Grades? Tight curves, etc.?

Thanks,

Bob

There are no bad grades on that route, but last year there was a section with lots of tight turns. They have been working on a new section for years; maybe it is done.

It has been awhile since the last time I was on it, I know it is a great motorcycle road.

Thanks, all - will be pulling our 34' fiver along that route - just looking for a heads-up from those with experience on the route. Looked like some tight turns closer to the Newport side on Google Earth, so thought I'd ask...

Regards,

Bob

U.S. 20 is no issue. RVers drive it all the time. Yes, there are curves but I wouldn't call them 'tight'. They are easily done. We've done it with our 40' motorhome towing the Jeep.
