The best driving route from
Las Vegas
to
Portland
is to take Nevada State Highway 139 via
Reno
. Here’s a detailed version of the route:
  • From Vegas take US-95 to Reno
  • At Reno, take US-395 to Susanville, CA
  • At
    Susanville
    , get on State Highway 139
  • Follow the 139 over the
    California
    Oregon
    border where it becomes the 39
  • The 39 will turn into US-97 in
    Klamath Falls, OR
  • Take US-97 north to Oregon State Highway 58, just past Chemult
  • The 58 will take you to the city of
    Eugene, OR
  • At Eugene, take I-5 north all the way to Portland
This route times out at about 15 and a half hours, not including stops. We recommend breaking this trip into two or three days of driving to avoid fatigue. You may want to book hotel rooms in Reno, NV and Klamath Falls, OR to make the trip easier.
Driving on unfamiliar roads can also be intimidating. For peace of mind, you may want to consider adding
Roadside Assistance
coverage to your car insurance policy. This type of coverage pays for things like tow trucks, tire changes, fuel delivery, and other services you may need if you find yourself stranded.
