Oregon Overland Trips for Beginner???

[jakerau]

Hi. I am new to overlanding. I have a 2005 Tahoe I am slowly outfitting to be my family overlanding rig. I have a trailer well suited to offroad adventures, with a CVT tent on top. I am looking for anyone who has suggestions for Oregon overlanding routes. I have not been able to locate route information. I've heard theres a route from Bend to Coos Bay an would like to try it, or anything else that you may know of. Thanks in advance.

Hey, Bud-
Welcome! You'll probably get a response here with some great ideas, but on the chance that you don't, come check out the regional forum here in ExPo. The PNW forum is really active, so you'll get lots of information.

Good luck!

I just finished route 3. It goes from Dorris, CA to Hoodoo, OR. I have certain disabilities so most of my expeditions have to be limited to a week or less. If you take a look at .oohva.org it has some routes that you could do in most 4x4's off the show room floor. Now that being said, be aware weather and timing can affect all journey's. I just got home yesterday after doing this trip and we ran into about mile or so of 4-6' of snow or more. Now you can bypass a lot of these if you have maps of the area and do a little side exploring. If you wanted to take a look I have posted my trip over here = toyota-4runner.oprg /3rd-gen-t4rs/ - Kotrin's 3rd Gen adventure thread. Feel free to hit me up with any questions or concern's as between myself and my dad we have done almost all of the OOHVA routes =).

If your looking for people to overland with, I would love to do an adventure with you. I have to go with someone due to my medical issues, but I do know lots go out on their own and just plan, prepare and execute it!

PS - can't post links yet =\

Thanks, all. We just tried THree Creeks Lake to Waldo this past weekend. Plenty of opportunities to learn recovery and improvise alternate routes. In the end we got stopped due to snow, but we had a blast, learned a ton, and will complete the trail in a few weeks when more of the snow has melted off.
