Wide open with long sight distances. Please use your headlights so that others can see you and use cruise control so that you don't find yourself speeding.
Make a stop in price to see the museum to see some dinosaur remnants.
We stayed in Green River to save money on lodging vs. Moab.

Jordie,

Hwy 6 is one lane in each direction for most of the drive, but there are streches were there are 4 lanes. It is quite boring (but maybe not for a first timer) from Green River to Helper, UT. Then it goes up into the mountains with some curves and steep grades through Spanish Fork Canyon and down again into Mapleton/Spanish Fork. Nice scenery.

You must stay very alert on this road and DO NOT take any risks in passing. This is Utah's most dangerous road because it has a lot of traffic and semi's even though it's narrow. UHP has enacted air patrol, lower speed limits, additional warning signs, in an attempt to make it safer until the hwy is widened all the way. That said, I drive it all the time and lived to tell.

Personally, I would not drive it in a snowstorm.

Also be aware that major construction is taking place on I-15 from Spanish Fork up to the Utah Co./ SLC Co. line. It can be a nightmare most of the time. Plan on an extra hour of travel to SLC and the airport, if that is your plan!

Hope this helps,
Dayle

Thank you for the quick response. My intention is to travel through to Idaho and am wondering what the SLC transit is like given the traffic and construction. Is there a better way to dodge these issues?

Depending on the time of day and day of week, you could stay on US 191 just north of Helper and go by way of Heber City on US 40
You could avoid the construction between Spanish Fork and the south end of SLC. If you were just planning on driving through SLC, it might be quicker to use 191, 40 and I-80 east to get to I-84 west through Ogden.
