Book excerpt: Travel across miles of Pennsylvania road without stop lights -- long stretches of scenic farmlands and forest. Pennsylvania's Scenic Route 6 shows you how to enjoy the ride. From the natural bird haven on Presque Isle to the Allegheny National Forest and the Pine Creek Gorge (Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon) to the Delaware River, this book portrays this route as one of the most beautiful in the United States.Readers are given insight into twenty major historic and natural sites, including the War of 1812 U.S. Brig Niagara and giant locomotives at the Steamtown National Historic Site. The author and photographer portray many of their own discoveries along the way in towns and in the countryside. The book also features photographs and descriptions of three spectacular bridges -- the Kinzua Bridge, the Tunkhannock Viaduct, and the Roebling Bridge, which once carried canal water.
