Omaha to Portland OR, lowest altitude
I know there are several routes one might take between
Omaha and Portlant, Oregon. Is there any way to find out which way involves the lowest altitude? TIA ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Katherine Becker "As god is my witness I thought turkeys could fly" NEVER SEND A FERRET TO DO A WEASEL's JOB --WKRP ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |

TIA Just go I-80 & then I-84. The passes are no higher than other routes and the grades are not as steep. If someone that will be riding has motion or altitude problems you need to have them see their doctor for proper medication no matter which route is used. Tom J |

Take is river at Omaha down to the Mississippi, thence to the Gulf. Take a boat around the stip of South America around to Oregon. Alternatively there is the Panama Canal.

Omaha and Portlant, Oregon. Is there any way to find out which way involves the lowest altitude? TIA Yes, get a map which shows railroads as well as highways and try to follow railroads. Railroads have a powerful incentive to reduce altitude. -- "There's no such thing as Free Parking!" Larry Gould |
