Yeah … I thought about that when I was writing it too. Actually, the segment that winds up past Salina isn’t too bad either (but not nearly as nice as the ‘real’ 89 that I wrote about).

It is too bad you don’t watch TV. You really should watch Monk.

Wow! Is that a red, white, and blue building or what!

You wrote above that the south end of Highway 89 is in Kanab and the north end is buried under I-70 south of Richfield. I live well north of Richfield, and Highway 89 is about a quarter mile east of my house. According to Wikipedia: “U.S. Route 89 is a north-south United States highway with two sections. The southern section runs for 848 miles (1,365 km) from Flagstaff, Arizona to the southern entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The northern section runs for 404 miles (650 km) from the northern entrance of Yellowstone National Park to Montana.”

I do agree, however, that Highway 89 is the much better alternative to traverse Utah going north/south.
