About the Beaver Canyon Scenic Byway (U-153)
A fall favorite, the Beaver Canyon Scenic Byway will transport you in time to a view of the west in the late 1800s. You’ll drive through the Tushar Mountain Range where you can enjoy OHV riding, backpacking, mountain biking, horseback riding, trout fshing and camping in beautiful pine surroundings with breathtaking vistas. Elk, deer, black bear and cougars live in the Fishlake National Forest as well as wild turkey and mountain goats. Be sure to visit the nearby cities of Beaver, Junction and Marysvale to stock up on supplies or shop locally. In your trip include a visit to the Territorial Statehouse State Park Museum and the Fremont Indian State Park and Museum.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
