Looking back eastward (uphill) at the more westerly of two short tunnels on this frontage road. Utah, USA.

The guardrail on the right is along Interstate 70. Utah, USA.

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.
