From a Westerner's point of view, US6 starts in Bishop, heart of the Owens Valley in far western California. From Bishop, it goes 75 miles north to the Nevada border, then east for about 100 miles, turning NE at warm Springs, meeting US50 at Ely. From there to Denver you are on US50. US6 diverges again, allowing you to head NE for I80. From Denver to the Atlanic Ocean, US6 seems to wander aimlessly, between important main arteries, with no real serious purpose of its own. The Bishop to Ely portion is a real nice 289 mile scenic drive.
