When driving to Bend from Portland during snowy weather conditions, which road is better (the 22 route or 26)?

I'd go down to Salem and across. The passes are lower and the road is better plowed.

If you go past Mt Hood, the roads are badly maintained once you pass the ski areas.


Once you get to the summit and are heading down hill towards Sisters, maintain your speed limit. You see miles of straight road ahead and want to step on the gas. That's a very good way to get a speeding ticket since that stretch is heavily patrolled.

Yes in snowy conditions take the Salem route. When roads are clear 26 is fastest.
