East Carbon: East Horse Canyon - North Horse Canyon - Grand Army of the Republic Highway
East Horse Canyon lies along a dry valley crossed by U.S. Route 6 in eastern Utah, where sagebrush flats lead toward layered mesas and cliffs. North Horse Canyon and East Horse Canyon cut into the open country near East Carbon, a community shaped by Carbon County’s coal-mining era. U.S. 6 forms part of the Grand Army of the Republic Highway, a commemorative designation honoring the Union veterans’ organization. This long, direct route links the Price area with Green River across the broad, sparsely settled terrain of the Colorado Plateau.

Founded around coal mining beneath Utah’s Book Cliffs, East Carbon grew into a small Carbon County city shaped by the industry’s company-town era. The settlement was originally known as Dragerton, a community developed by U.S. Steel in the 1940s for coal miners; it adopted the name East Carbon in 1973. In 2014, East Carbon and neighbouring Sunnyside consolidated under the East Carbon name. The Book Cliffs, a long sandstone escarpment across eastern Utah, rise near the city above the surrounding high-desert terrain.

Utah has functioned as a frontier region within the United States since the mid-19th century. Its terrain spans the Great Basin, the Wasatch Range and the Colorado Plateau, where red-rock canyons and high desert occupy much of the south and east. The Great Salt Lake is the state’s defining inland water body, while the Colorado River has carved some of its most dramatic canyon country. Salt Lake City grew from the 1847 settlement of Mormon pioneers, and Utah entered the Union in 1896. Five national parks, including Zion, Arches and Bryce Canyon, reflect the extraordinary variety of its protected landscapes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Utah.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
