Hello We will be driving from Coburg to Bend with our 42ft coach and tow car know there are two ways, mapquest sends you mostly on hwy 126 and then there is the hwy 58 option. Seems like one of the routes includes lots of very narrow winding roads if I remember. Which route is best for our 64 ft overall length.

thanks

We live just off Hwy 58. We have traveled both ways many times. I prefer the Hwy 58 to Crescent cutoff to 97 to Bend. There is a lot of traffic out of Springfield on 126 for many miles, then lots more traffic from before Sisters to Bend. 58 has many passing lanes and most trucks use it. It is a few more miles but less traffic and more relaxing to drive. Both ways are very scenic. 97 has passing lanes as well. It has been many years, now, since we have used 126. Just a nicer drive on 58 in my opinion. All 64' will have an easy go. We are also right at 64' with our 22' enclosed trailer. If one hits 58 at the right time, it seems almost empty. Middle of week, early in the day.

Enjoy the drive.
