Just west of Denver, Route 6 cuts through Golden, Colorado, home of Coors. Through I generally favor more obscure craft beers, I do plan to take the self-guided Brewery Tour (oh, the lengths I'll go for research) most likely in the morning so I can walk off the effects of sampling before continuing west through a challenging stretch of 6. From Golden, the highway snakes through Clear Creek Canyon, a cliff-laden, creek-running biker-favorite , so I'll be sure to pull off and take pictures. Or, if I'm lucky, I'll find some agreeable rock-climbers to video and interview; Clear Creek Canyon out of Golden is considered a magnet for rock-jocks.
US Route 6 is the longest contiguous transcontinental route in the USA. Running from Provincetown, MA to Bishop, CA (and before 1964 to Long Beach, CA), Route 6 goes through 14 states. This is your guide along all of its original 3,652 miles. From Revolutionary War sites to pioneer settlements and western mining towns, Route 6 offers an in-depth lesson in US History, charms of yesteryear and comforts of modern times.
