A number of stops made in SLC, LAS, PHX, DEN.
This particular flight actually has more to do with weight restrictions on takeoff due to the short BUR runway than the range of the 320. You do see diversions on westbound transcons due to fuel/range issues, but even these are somewhat rare and require a pretty stiff headwind.
