So we are looking at a job that will bounce my hubby from from Silverton to Estacada..mileage says something about 36 miles but time is almost an hour! Is that correct? Is it do to mountain roads or speed limits?

Thanks for the help!

Mountain roads and speed limit. Seems reasonable to me although I haven't been on that specific road for many years.

There aren't mountain roads out that way, but it is windy and there are some small towns that will slow you down a bit on the way. It's agriculture out that way. Lots of tractors and such. 45-60 minutes sounds about right.

The slow part is from Molalla to Estacada. Silverton to Molalla is a straight shot on 213 with hardly any traffic. Molalla to Estacada takes longer. I don't know what the altitude is, but you might also expect more frequent snow on that stretch of road.

Don't forget the slog through Molalla at 25/35mph. Not long, nor many lights, but it'll slow you down.
