Hideout: Victory Highway
Built around a transcontinental motor route, Victory Highway near Hideout grew into a busy stretch of U.S. Route 40 in Utah’s Wasatch Back. Its name recalls the Victory Highway, an early 20th-century coast-to-coast automobile route created in commemoration of the First World War. Today, the road crosses open, sagebrush-covered hills in Summit County between the Heber Valley and the higher country around Park City. The Wasatch Mountains define the wider region, while Jordanelle Reservoir lies close to Hideout. This small incorporated town stands on the reservoir’s eastern side, where residential development meets public land, water recreation and a major northern Utah road corridor.

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.
