Headed to Yellowstone!
On I-15 north in Nevada, near exit 100, the Carp/Elgin exit. I mention the border of Nevada and Utah, but I-15 actually goes through Arizona a bit between Nevada and Utah.
Still on I-15 north, this short video was taken around 30 miles from Provo and 72 miles from Salt Lake City.
At a Wal-Mart in American Fork, UT, which is actually closer to Orem, which itself is south of Salt Lake City.
Videoing at a Texaco station off exit 376, near Tremonton, UT.

Great location near Yellowstone, and relatively inexpensive. I remember hearing elk bugling the night I stayed here. Very cool, although there's always grizzly bear danger when staying in very rural areas near Yellowstone.
