Hi. On Tuesday I will be doing 3 drops, one on Pasco, WA, two in Bend, OR and three in Portland, OR. I got the first 2 figured out but am concerned about the best route from Bend to Portland. I know I could backtrack to 84 but wondered if 20 to 126 to 22 to I-5 is a good route. It is listed by Rand Mcnally as a truck route but looks like it goes over a good mountain range so I am unsure. Any suggestions? Thanks!
What is the best route from Bend,OR to Portland,OR?

Also seeing backtrack 97 North and the 26 West fron Madras to Portland seems like maybe a better route.

Go the way in your first post. It’s all good roads.
krupa530, Lepton1 and Truckermania Thank this. -
If your company "routes you", just go the way they authorize and pay. If not, via Mill City is the way I'd go. but then it might come down to where the Portland drops are and how they are ordered. US 26 and Hood River may be a better option if first drop is in NE Portland area (like Albertsons). Portland traffic is awful during peak periods all up and down and around.

I’m going to take my statement back. Running 26 is 40 miles shorter to where you’re going. Plus you don’t have to come into town on 5.

Here is a map you should take a look at when going off the interstate system in Oregon.
