The US 6 corridor between Spanish Fork and Green River is a major route that I use when driving from Salt Lake City to Moab. I’ve driven on US 6 over 25 times.

Places along the route that I have come to know are Thistle (former railroad town buried under a huge landslide), Apple Bend (site of a terrible highway accident), The Narrows, Mill Fork (cemetery), Sky View, Tucker (former rest area, now buried under highway fill), Soldier Summit, Colton, Castle Gate (power plant), Helper, Price, Wellington, and Woodside (site of a closed gas station).

The scenery includes mountains, rivers, cliffs (Book Cliffs), and desert. The Union Pacific Railroad runs parallel (but not always close) to the highway for the entire distance. Many a time have I stopped along this route to watch and photograph trains.
