Ever wanted to take the road less travelled? You might be interested in taking a look at this new survey from GPS-tracking company Geotab. The survey identifies the quietest routes in all 50 states, and this lonely road in Oregon offers mile upon mile of peace and quiet, along with some stunning scenery. Take a look:
According to the study, the quietest route in Oregon is U.S. 395.
Offering miles of open roadway, this federal highway travels through eastern Oregon.
Along the way, there are some incredible sights to behold. From the picturesque Blue Mountains (pictured below) to stunning pine forests, breathtaking views are not in short supply.
There are even two designated state scenic corridors: Battle Mountain Forest and Ukiah-Dale. Both are managed as state parks.
This peaceful road also travels through Oregon's otherworldly desert terrain near Wagontire.
You'll find a few quaint roadside cafes in this area, including the Wagontire Cafe. It is abandoned, but still makes for a great place to stop and take pictures.
U.S. 395 travels all the way to California, crossing the state border at Goose Lake Valley south of Lakeview.
No matter how far you travel down this road, prepare to enjoy some peace, quiet, and seriously stunning views.
