East of Salina, Utah. Interstate 70 follows the canyon containing the creek, heading almost due east on its way over the San Rafael Swell. A good graded frontage road parallels the freeway and the creek, and because of its overall gentle grade it makes a nice mountain bike route from the top of the pass back west toward Salina. It's more fun than the freeway! There are even a couple of short tunnels on the frontage road (inserts). "Salina" is locally pronounced with a long "i", btw.
