State engineers, standing on a hill near the Kyune Pass cutoff, took a picture of the canyon as it starts the initial descent into the Castle Valley.

Many people in the local community were upset by the fact that the actual Castle Gate rock formation had to be drastically cut back to accommodate the new highway. Little did people realize that, in subsequent years - particularly in the early 1990s, the formation would be altered further due to a number of incidents, some fatal accidents, caused by rocks falling from connection between four-lan- the cliff. Other local residents were concerned about the loss of Royal, a small mining community that was basically wiped out to build the highway. The result, however, was a better and safer road. Deaths and accidents in the actual canyon had never been high, considering the extreme States. Tbday, there are enough for all Americans to have a vehicle to drive. circumstances that drivers sometimes faced. But the number of mishaps were initially reduced dramatically when the highway opened. In subsequent years, however, death tolls have started to rise. According to state officials, the situation is primarily due to the dual headed monster of traffic exceeding the volume the highway was built to handle in 1966 and higher speeds. Traffic volumes have increased dramatically on the canyon highway since the com-in- g of Interstate 70. In fact, the traffic counts on U.S. 6 in Price Canyon often exceed totals on a per day basis. .
