The town lies alongside Utah State Route 12, near the park's popular Sunset Point. Reuben C.

The Syrett family, owners of Ruby's Inn, had been seeking municipal incorporation for some time, hoping to qualify for a portion of county sales tax revenue to help fund the water system and other community infrastructure.
