The Loneliest Road in Oregon - Traveling a Nearly Empty Highway 395

Highway 395 in Oregon has been called the state's loneliest road, seeing the least amount of traffic among all highways in the state. Stretching from New Pine Creek on the California border to Umatilla on the Columbia River, the highway crosses the sparsely populated eastern Oregon, traveling through some of the most scenic landscapes along the entire highway. And when they claim the road is little traveled, they aren't kidding. At times we would go over a half hour before passing another car. In this video we travel the entire length of U.S. Route 395 in Oregon, a highway that features high desert plateaus, volcanic peaks on the horizon, rivers cutting through wide valleys, and towns so small they can almost slip past before you notice them.
