Why do postal routes travel farther than the intended destination during transit?

When tracking a particular package being shipped from northern Utah, and arriving in a city in southern Utah, the tracking information returns as being processed in Austin, Texas. This makes no sense cost wise. Why take a package 1000 miles away from the ending location, and returning it back in the same direction?
