    Default Route 6 Coast to Cost?

    Hi Trikers....I am thinking of riding Route 6 on a solo trip this year....I know it will be slow paced through small towns, traffic lights,etc....but I am retired and have plenty of time and I want to take my time and see as much as I can....I will start on Route 6 in Pa somewhere near Welsboro..and head west and take it a day at a time......thinking of leaving right after Labor Day so it will not be too hot....have any of you taken any long trips via Route 6 or have any advice....

    What a funny coincidence. I am at a company in Western PA and the machine operator asked me this morning if i had ever ridden Rt. 6. He then whipped out a map. Then I remembered I have taken it through most of PA way back in 2000. Nice road. Slow going.

    Take this for what it's worth ... the Rockies after Labor day are dicey at best ... snow comes early and deep ... just saying ... if you go slow across this great country, you could get to the Rockies and come to a stop ...

    If you start right after Labor Day and are into Colorado and Utah by the 2nd or 3rd week in Sept you should be OK weather wise. We have had some big storms that early but they usually don't last that long and melt off pretty quick.May hold you up for a day or two but otherwise a great time of year to ride this area. A nice bonus is that all the kids are back in school and most of the tourists have gone home so the roads are much less crowded. Plan on crossing the Wasatch Mountains so you get from Price to Spanish Fork during the day as you do not want to ride Price River Canyon/Spanish Fork Canyon at night.Somewhat dangerous. Spend time at Lehman Caves/Great Basin National Park and see the cave and ride to the top od Wheeler Peak.
    Let me know when you are coming thru the area and I will try and meet up with you.
    Happy TRAils/NSD

    If he meanders, and takes his time ... he could be there in Oct ... could be bad, but, you're right ... won't be like he can't go on all winter ... maybe a day or two. That and I'm pretty sure rt 6 is part of I 70 over the rockies, but I also think it side tracks over Independence Pass and that gets closed a lot. If it's just I 70, they keep that pretty clear, but it's still cold up there.

    I do believe trikermary is a ladytriker as evident by her user name. I did check her profile and SHE even admits to being a gal...so maybe we all could address her as such.


    I have traveled PA Rt. 6 and it's a really great road. I do have a thought though and it would depend how relaxed your schedule is, as other poster's have noted the possibility of encountering snow as you get further west. And then what about the return trip if you live back east somewhere. I believe I'd want to leave around early August at the latest if I was planning such a trip.


    Good luck and enjoy your trip!

    Thank you all for your great advice, I appreciate it, did not think about the weather possibilities by the time I would get there, since it will be a slow trip....I may just do a portion of Route 6, do not intend to do more than 300 miles a day...I have traveled out west with men and women that had to get back in time for work, as a result we really hit the blacktop at high speed so we could have more time when we got there, first time I road out to Sturgis from Maryland, I don't even remember what states I went through, the man in charge led the way....and I realize when you ride with a group, your ride the way they do and I had no problem, just always regretted not seeing anything along the way, though I still travel with a group I wanted to try a slow, solo trip, but maybe I need to start at a shorter distance, leave from PA Route 6 and take it a day at a time, and head west and may only do half of Route 6 for first solo trip.......wish I could find a website of solo riders that could give advice to solo riders, especially women riders that want to try to ride solo.................this website is filled with experienced riders and so I will keep on working on my
    Route 6 ride plan and ask for advice as needed...thank you all very much!

    You might be fine ... I was just making you aware that it could be an issue .. when it snows early in the season, it is usually gone in a day or two.

    Safety Advice For The Solo Female Traveler

    Eliza tells me that she’s definitely “pro-solo female travel”, something she feels is “very safe on the whole, but you can’t get drunk and walk around late at night.” Like many solo female travelers, she believes that common sense goes a long way, and without it, you’ll be in trouble. She also believes that you need to act responsibly when in new surroundings and that females on their own do need to be a little more cautious before trusting people they meet.
    Of course, given her vast travel experiences, and given the destinations she has visited and the fact that she always travels solo, I knew that Eliza would have much more to say about safety, so I asked her to share some more of her own advice. And this is what she shared…




    • Safety is about how you present yourself to other people. If you walk into a restaurant alone, don’t just walk straight in blindly or else you’ll look lost if it’s not what you expected. Scan the situation before going inside, make sure you feel confident before walking through the door.



    • Ask yourself questions while moving around each day. Is the street dark? Are there other people around? Do I know what’s on the other side of the park? Are there potential trouble spots ahead? Taking one minute to think things through is always a wise decision.


    • Don’t rush while traveling. Walk slowly, have patience and relax. Every now and then stop and turn around, look all around you, make sure you know where you are, where you’re going and make sure nobody seems to be following you.


    • Pay attention to your intuition. If someone you see or talk to seems a little ‘off’, or a particular place doesn’t seem right, just change course. Always listen to your intuition because it’s usually right. Either way, it’s still better to be wrong but safe than to be right but in a bad situation.


    • You can’t be shy or worry about hurting other people’s feelings – again, if you feel that something might be wrong or you just aren’t comfortable, you need to get out of the situation without worrying about how the other person might feel. Stay polite, don’t get angry, just be firm and get away.


    • When communicating with strangers, always make eye contact and display confidence, giving sure answers when asked questions. You want a person you meet to immediately understand that you are a confident individual who cannot be taken advantage of.

    There is a stretch between Ely, NV and Tonapah, NV that is about 170 miles with no gas station or other services. You might want to carry some extra gas. Hwy. 6, not Hwy. 50, really is the "Loneliest Road in America," at least on this stretch. Good luck. Have a great trip!

    Maybe some toilet paper too ... LOL ... that's a long stretch ... I70 between Green River Utah and Salina Utah is 107 miles with nothing ... I'm usually crossing my legs by time I get there
