Any suggested routes from Portland, OR to Ft Collins, CO?

by **kevka** » August 19th, 2012, 7:09 pm

I am wondering if I should take I-84 to I-80 to I-25 (-Oregon-, Boise, SLC, Cheyenne) or I-5 to I-90 to I-25 (Seattle, Spokane, -Montana-, -Wyoming-)
Anyone have any recommendations? I am hoping to make this a quick trip. I will be leaving anytime between now and the first week of September. I was considering seeing Washington but I might wait for a later time to do sight-seeing and all that.
Any information on getting free bus tickets would also be awesome, even though taking buses is counterintuitive to the hitching experience.

I just did Portland to SLC ( VIA I84, US20, I15 and it took me less than 48 hours. It's a pretty easy route.

i second I-84. easy to get to Troutdale on the eastern edge of the city, truck stops there if you're stuck. good place.

P.S. Regarding the free bus:
There is a city bus in Fort Collins that can run you around the town for free if you can convince them you are under 18 (the driver was skeptical, but I got away with it even with a backpack). Otherwise I think it is a couple dollars.
