Oregon Transportation Tips by richiecdisc Top 5 Page for this destination

driving around Oregon is a joy

The United States is no front runner in the world of mass transit and while Portland is one of the few cities in the country to buck that trend, getting around the state is not much better than elsewhere in the US. This is especially true if you want to visit scenic areas like National Parks.

We were on a six month camping trip around the western US so a car was very much a necessity. Typical distances: Portland to Seattle-175 miles/2.5 hours. Portland to San Francisco-600 miles/10 hours. Portland to Oregon Coast-70 miles/1.5 hours.

Roads are generally not crowded and well-maintained. It is a pleasure to drive around this beautiful state.
