Echo Utah. The westbound rest area on I80 provides this stunning view of Echo Canyon with a short walk to the top of the bluff.
Be sure to ask the docent for brochures to the canyon . There is more to this scenic piece of geography than you might think at first glance. That is Echo Canyon Road behind the train. There are numerous points of interest along the road,stone breastworks constructed during the "Utah War" of 1857-58,a billboard rock advertising "Plantation Bitters". Further east you will find Castle Rock, where Brigham Young's party camped in July, 1847 on the way to the salt lake valley.
All that and a busy mainline to fill your day.
