Thank you for this video! I’m planning to do the same trip from LA to Seattle in two weeks. Hoping there are no snow storms.. any advice you could give? How were the Grants Pass and Siskiyou Summit parts of the road in your experience? Thank you!
Selcuk Basturk When we were there in mid-November, 2018, there was no snow at all over Grants Pass. There is probably snow now. It’d be a good idea to have winter tires, and to check the highway cams online the day you leave. Normally, driving on an interstate highway is not too bad in the snow. The road is nice and wide, the turns are gradual, the snow has usually melted under the traffic, and there aren’t many hazards, just other cars. Just remember, speed limits are speed maximums, not minimums. Take it slow and you’ll be fine. Don’t need 4 wheel drive, but front wheel drive is nice.
Hello, we are thinking to do this trip..had a quick question...1..what time in November was this trip taken? 2. what time in morning did you start on both days...thanks!
We did this drive on November 10th and 11th. We try to start as early as possible. On the first day we must have hit the road at about 6:30, but wouldn't have gotten across the boarder until about 8am. The next day I think we left around 8-9am. Roseburg Oregon is a nice halfway point. As long as you're not driving through a snowstorm, the road is pretty accessible year round. On the way back we took the 97 from Weed, California to Bend, Oregon, and to the Dalles, then over to Portland. That was much nicer. (Haven't uploaded that video yet). The I-5 through California is not the most scenic highway. Also remember the border is closed right now.
Hi! I'm gonna do that in a few weeks and I wanted to know how much gas did you use and how much was for the rental car aprox. Thank you!!
