State Route 36
A rural highway stretching 66.41 miles, SR 36 travels north from near Eureka to Interstate 80 at the Tooele Interchange by Great Salt Lake. The state route forms an arc west across Rush Valley and north through the gap between South Mountain and the Oquirrh Mountains to Tooele Valley. SR 36 also connects Salt Lake City with the city of Tooele, seat of Tooele County, and Tooele Army Depot.
