Going to Cannon Beach, OR soon, I see on Google maps that I can either take 101-S or I-5 S then cut over west via US-30 W. I'll have my wife and puppy with me, puppy is almost a year old but has never been on any long trips so I'll prefer a route to have good dog friendly places to stop for coffee and food.
Any recommendation which of these route will be better? From Google maps it seems that the I-5 S / US-30 W route will have me pass through more strip malls, would that be your recommendation? Thanks. |

Others may have more info. But there will be more rest stops along I-5 and those are usually pet friendly.
You might also want to ask this question of the forum to the south of us. They have many more from Oregon as here at waguns we are primarily Washington. _________________ Paris You can never be too prepared. Consider the ant thou sluggard.

I'd take 101. A lot more scenic. Quite a few spots to pull off the road and stretch...
If you want to take your time, go 101. If you just want to 'get there', take I5. Astoria is a great stop... IMO.. _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

101 is not only more scenic and calmer, it's usually faster. Only reason to take I5 is if you want rest stops.

Take 30 to 202, 103, 26 and then stop at Camp 18 for lunch. Its a Logging/camp museum and the fallen loggers memorial. Awesome place to kill a little time, eat and walk the dog.
Its 20 miles before seaside. Awesome drive and beautiful scenery. https://www.discoverourcoast.com/coast- ... cd54c.html   |

You could always sing by the Air Museum if youve never seen Hughes Spruce Goose... lots of good cool aircraft there... in McMinnville _________________ "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."......Carl Marx "Let us Cross the river and sit in the shade of the trees" .....Stonewall Jackson T.

101 wa is not scenic, just trees. I-5 to longview and cross over many strip malls along the way to astoria. stop at the totem on the top of the hill. fort stevens walk the beach too. then on down to cannon plenty of places to stop and see.
as old growth mention camp 18 and as old jim mention spruce goose is cool in mcminnville can always cross the astpria an hit hey 4 back to longview _________________  |

Cannon Beach is a tourist pit. Arch Cape is much better. There is an Oregon State park a couple miles South of Arch Cape that has camping and a nice beach and is a local surf hang out. You will want to spend a day at the Tillimuck Air Museum and a few hours at the cheese factory and who could pass on chowder?

I've not heard of Arch Cape before but after the above post I went and looked it up, looks like a very nice place. I don't think wife will like to stay there, she's more of a tourist pit type of person who enjoys shopping and dinning at tourist type locations, but Arch Cape is close enough to Cannon Beach so we can head there to check it out. |
