Route 6 is more than a journey. It is, in and of itself, a destination! On Route 6, you glide through a national forest, climb endless mountains, follow the gentle bends of an impatient river, and retrace historic trails traveled by pioneers. There are architectural marvels, unspoiled natural wonders, Victorian Villages, and the bookmarks of American history.
