Special Considerations
Slides and floods caused by extreme weather conditions sometimes temporarily disrupt access. With the ocean providing year-round air conditioning, temperatures are comfortably in the 60s and 70s in the summer and rarely drop below freezing in the winter. Be prepared for fog, drizzle, or rain showers any time of year, but mainly in the winter and spring. Steady breezes are common most of the year. However, winter storms occasionally bring gusts above 50 mph. At the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, temperatures are at their highest and winds are at their lowest during the early fall.
Since the byway passes through some areas that are sparsely populated and other areas that are quite crowded, the Oregon Department of Transportation recommends that you contact regional visitor associations and chambers of commerce to obtain maps, get acquainted with services, and make lodging reservations in advance. Please keep in mind that services may be several miles apart or closed at night. Also, be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions.
Restrictions
The byway is open all year.
