The torch was lit in Athens, Greece, in November, and began its U.S. journey in Atlanta, Georgia.

By the time it reaches Salt Lake for Opening Ceremonies on February 8, it will have traveled through 46 states, made stops in 125 major cities, and traveled 13,500 miles over 65 days.

In Utah, organizers plan a sunrise ceremony at Delicate Arch, Utah's most enduring natural symbol, with American Indian runners Frank Arrowchis, Stephanie Laree Spann and Forrest Cuch taking the flame out of the heart of Arches National Park.

The torch relay will spend four days touring Utah. The identity of the final torch bearer won't be known until that person enters Rice-Eccles Stadium. It's one of organizers' closest-held secrets.

The relay's first Utah day will be busy. From Delicate Arch, the flame will be carried by runners and bicyclists to Moab, where the relay entourage will fly to Monument Valley and then to Bryce National Park. A motorized convoy will take the flame to Zion National Park, Springdale, Hurricane and to St. George for an evening celebration.

On Feb. 5 the relay will run through Cedar City, Parowan, Beaver, Richfield, Centerfield, Manti, Gunnison, Ephraim, Nephi and spend the night in Provo for a celebration at BYU's Cougar Stadium.

It will resume Feb. 6 in American Fork, where designated runners include entertainers Donny and Marie Osmond.

Other runners will take the flame through Lehi and, after another vehicle convoy, it will be carried by pony express through Camp Floyd State Park. After a run through Tooele, the flame will be driven over a Great Salt Lake causeway to Antelope Island.

From there the relay will head through Layton, Clearfield, Sunset, Roy, Ogden, Tremonton, Garland, Logan, Brigham City and back to Ogden for the night.

The relay will head out Feb. 7 on the east side of the Wasatch Mountains for Midway, Heber City and Park City. It will arrive in Salt Lake City via Emigration Canyon for a big celebration on the grounds of the City-County Building.

Plans for the final day's relay, Feb. 8, have not been revealed.
