Welcome to the Summer of 6!

Return to the main US 6 page

Why drive US 6? US 6 is a fascinating cross section of great America, from the Sierra Nevada of the West through the deserts of the Great Basin, the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, the hearty prairies of the American Midwest, the shores of the Great Lakes and the beauty of New England and the Atlantic Ocean. Can you think of any other highway that you can just follow, that would give you all that?

So sit back, relax, crank up the A/C and ride along on an adventure to capture the heart and soul of the United States as only this one highway can. C'mon, we've got some driving to do!
