Triptic is sending me north on HWY 5 then south on 2 and rt86. But HWY 6 looks way shorter (I'm cautious when i see this . Is there a reason for this?
Thanks in advance.

Definitely routing you away from hwy 6. Using Google Maps there's a lot of tight turns from the 50,000' level, I'd be wary of that - not sure if that's from topography or what.
I didn't drill down to street view in Google Maps maybe the answer is there.
Also noticed an absence of towns on 6
My eyes aren't the greatest and looked at all this on my phone but it looks like 6 is not a US hwy so probably not as well maintained, maybe no shoulders, etc. Just my guess.
In the US, I would recommend nothing less than a US or State Hwy.
Might want to pickup a current paper Atlas of the US. I have one but it's in the rv in the driveway. I'll look later today
