Forrest Gump

"Run forest run!” Only Forrest could run across the country, but did you know this part was shot almost exclusively on US Rt. 163? The stretch of road runs from the end of Colorado to the end of Utah. Though Route 66 has all the fame, this lane was picked because it historically has the most scenic views on the western side of the USA. Luckily Tom Hanks didn't actually have to run across the entire country over the course of 3 years, but if he did, this is definitely the place to start!
