I was on Rt. 666 on 06/10/12. The road has been…

Written Directions

Start just south of Warren Pennsylvania in the burrow of E. Hickory PA. From E. Hickory, head east on Route 666 all the way through Kingsley, Howe, and end at Barnes Pennsylvania & the junction of PA Route.666 and PA Route 948..

Scenery

Nice! In the heart of the Allegheny Nation Forest. Lush forest around every banked turn. There's a couple cool rock formations, creek beds and small bridges. Looks best in summer and fall.



Photo contributed in Jan 10: "This picture was taken about the halfway point of Rt666."

Drive Enjoyment

This road's topography makes it a great ride. Every bit of it's 30 miles are covered with banked turns and abrupt, small elevation changes. There's even the "cork screw" downhill turn section about halfway through. The trees whizzing past on either side are pretty cool too... Years of neglect have taken a toll on Route 666. I have to give it 4 stars for increasingly poor road conditions. Still a must ride!

Tourism Opportunities

What would you expect? You're in the middle of a national forest! No gas, no bathrooms, no need. Just fill up in Warren and Tionesta! If you're up to it, there's a tent camping area called Minister Creek about 9 miles in. From here you can hike miles into the woods and camp or stay with your bike and build a fire. Although not on this route, I do suggest you be sure to check out the Kinzua Dam and Pithole "ghost" city while you are in the area.

I have ridden the entire 31 miles on both a '65 Bonneville and a '72 Trident. I suspect the "abrupt elevation changes" alluded to in another post are both bumps and potholes. The road has some areas of semi-pavement, semi-dirt and alternating sides of pavement and dirt. The scenery is beautiful & there is a cold brew waiting at both ends of the road. Right now I am in Saudi Arabia & I could go for both the scenery and the cold brew.

I took a ride down from just south of Buffalo to check this road out and even the ride down was great! Rt. 62 down from Warren to the start of 666 is a real nice ride. Only complaint about 666 is about a 10 mile section in the middle that is very rough and broken up. The western side toward Shefield is currently getting paved and if they do the rest, it will be the best motorcycle road I know of.
