Most DANGEROUS Stretch of Road: Deadman's Pass in Oregon! #rvlife

⚡Beware this DANGEROUS pass in Oregon before planning your trip to the Pacific Northwest!!⚡ Join us as we travel west on Interstate 84, tackling one of the most infamous stretches of highway in the Pacific Northwest—Deadman’s Pass, also known as Cabbage Hill. This winding, steep descent in northeastern Oregon has a long and storied history, earning its eerie name from tragic accidents that have occurred over the years. Why is it Called Deadman’s Pass? Deadman’s Pass has been a treacherous route since the early pioneer days. The name dates back to conflicts between settlers and Native American tribes in the 1800s, with some stories claiming it refers to a deadly ambush. Over time, the pass became known for its **dangerous switchbacks, sharp curves, and steep grades**, leading to numerous accidents, particularly for truckers and RVers who underestimate its challenges. RV Safety Tips for Deadman’s Pass: 🔹 Going Downhill: ✅ Gear Down – Use a lower gear to avoid overheating your brakes. ✅ Brake Smart – Apply brakes in short, controlled bursts rather than riding them. ✅ Watch Your Speed – The posted speed limit for trucks and large vehicles is 37 mph for a reason! ✅ Check Your Brakes Beforehand – Make sure your RV’s braking system is in top shape before descending. 🔹 Going Uphill: ✅ Take It Slow – Stay in the right lane and let faster vehicles pass. ✅ Mind Your Engine Temp – Pull over if your engine starts overheating. ✅ Fuel Up Beforehand – The steep grade can eat up fuel faster than you expect. This stretch of I-84 may be daunting, but with the right precautions, it’s an incredible drive through some of Oregon’s most beautiful scenery. Have you driven Deadman’s Pass before?

We are Ron & Jodi; we want to share with you our RV travels in the Pacific Northwest. We RV up and down Washington and Oregon's scenic coastline and explore the east side of the Cascade Mountain Range enjoying the high desert. We have lots to show you around in our own backyard to include our national & state parks in Washington and Oregon. The best thing about owning an RV is that no matter where you go, you are always home. Still working full time and living residentially in the Pacific Northwest, we will take extended RV vacations outside the PNW. We have been to California and Nevada and have traveled east to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. When we take a break from the RV lifestyle we travel to beautiful Hawaii and hop aboard luxurious cruise ships destined for Alaska and the Caribbean. We take you on our vacations for an immersive travel experience. There are many videos to watch and help you decide how to spend your time in the PNW and beyond!
