The 1,000 Mile Tree is located in Wilhelmina Pass, along I-84 in the narrows of Weber Canyon, Utah, 1,000 miles west of Omaha, Nebraska. Union Pacific reached this point in January 1869, in the great race to Promontory Utah against the Central Pacific. Not far down the canyon is Devil's Slide, which can be clearly seen from the road. The Weber River flows between the formation and the freeway. There are parking areas on both sides of the highway for viewing the Slide.
