Most Popular Viewpoint on Historic US Route 6
Why this stands out
- The region touts two designated overlooks — one at Leonard Harrison State Park (East Rim) and one at Colton Point State Park (West Rim) — as “must-see” views along the Route 6 corridor.
- The segment of US 6 through the Pennsylvania “Wilds” receives strong tourism promotion focused on scenic vistas and state-parks.
- One authoritative travel site states: “For the most-memorable views, don’t miss the Pine Creek Gorge overlooks…” along the US 6 route.
Why it likely is “the most popular” viewpoint state
- Among the 14 states traversed by historic US 6, Pennsylvania is uniquely marketed as a high-scenic-value corridor for the route, with several standout viewpoints and parks (not just one).
Other states (for example Colorado) have impressive scenery on US 6, but the literature highlighting a single viewpoint with the phrasing “must-see” in the context of US 6 is strongest for Pennsylvania.
