During our travels out west we drove many roads that run across wide basins from one mountain range to another (Basin Range Topography). In the movie Forest Gump, I remembeedr he stopped running on such a road and wondered where that segment was filmed. The question simmered in the back of my mind as we traveled.
The movie was playing on TV the other night so I snapped a picture to help me identify the location.
After studying the seen for a few minutes, I realized we had already been there and didn't know it.

It's north of Monument Valley on US 163 in Utah. We stopped at this "wide spot in the road" to take a break and switch driver not knowing it was the iconic location. I did notice a lot of people stopping and taking pictures but I figured just the scenery was the a attraction.
Of course I could have just Googled it, but whats the fun in that!
