caption_attribution_description: West-facing view of the ghost town of Tucker, Utah, now a rest stop.
context_page_description: Tucker is a ghost town located near the east end of Spanish Fork Canyon in Utah County, Utah, United States 7 miles below Soldier Summit on U.S. Route 6. It was once an important loading point and construction camp on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. After the town was abandoned, the state of Utah used the town site for a rest area. In 2009, the site was buried as part of a project to re-align a portion of US-6's western approach to Soldier Summit. To honor the town, the state of Utah built a replacement rest area about 2 miles downstream from Tucker, called the Tie Fork Rest Area.
