Bug Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I am going to Timberline lodge tomorrow. Leave Redmond WA about 10:30 and go south on I5 then south on I205. Is it faster to go east out I84 and then south on 35? Are there stoplights on 35? Or is it faster to go out 26 through all the stoplights?

pc313 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Take 26 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 OK. It just seemed to take forever last time I drove it. I was wondering it 70mph down 84 would get me out there fast and then if 35 was pretty sparsly populated, it would go faster than 26. But I am just looking at a map and have not been on 84 or 35.

Bug Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Thanks guys. So go out to one exit past Fairview and cut down to Gresham and then east on 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc313 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 If you go 84 to Hood River,35 to 26,its 41 mi. more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yes. Stoplights and stop n go traffic can be very slow too. And if there was construction it would be even slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmncwrtr Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 We drive from the Vancouver side of the river, take 205 to 84 to the outlet mall exit/Mt Hood CC exit, then take that up the hill to 26. There's a couple of turns in there, but I just know how to drive it not describe it. During ski season, it took us about an hour and twenty minutes if there wasn't traffic or ice.

pc313 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 exit 16 is Wood Village,Mt. Hood,but if you take exit 17 Troutdale, the truck stop has the best price on gas $3.53gl pull out of the truck stop and take a right at the light,go up the hill tell you get to 26,take a left and head to Hood! The gas might be even less now it was $3.53 on Tue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
