Take a live look down Highway 89.   A 502 mile journey north from Idaho to Arizona in the south making it the longest road in Utah.   It's also known as State Street and Main Street through several cities.   It serves as a scenic alternative route to Interstate 15.   The highway runs through Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Arizona as you behold the West’s most spectacular scenery.

Page Arizona to Kanab Utah: Highway 89 now bypasses downtown Page Arizona to the west.   To follow the original road take Lake Powell Boulevard from the north or south as it loops through Page.   Continuing north Highway 89 crosses Marble Canyon and the Colorado River just downstream from Glen Canyon dam.   Behind the dam Lake Powell stretches 180 miles to the northeast.   Finally US Route 89 crosses southern Utah through the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.   Of particular note is the Paria River where hikers can begin the 40-mile trek to the Colorado River through a slot canyon of red sandstone.   Midway between Page and Kanab the highway crosses The Cockscomb, a giant hogback ridge of steeply tilted rock.   From The Cockscomb to Kanab the road parallels the Vermilion Cliffs on the north side.   This stretch of US Route 89 is a section called Under the Rim for its location beneath the red rock cliffs of the Colorado Plateau.

Kanab to Sevie: This section of US Route 89 is the part of the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area called The Headwaters.   North of Kanab the highway runs along Kanab Creek, a tributary of the Colorado.   At Mt Carmel Junction, 89 enters the Long Valley and parallels the East Fork of the Virgin River flowing west to join the Virgin River near Zion National Park.   At Long Valley Junction US Route 89 reaches a divide and crosses into the valley of the Sevier River which the road follows all the way north to Gunnison.   Utah’s scenic highway 12 intersects with 89 south of Panguitch.   Because of the abundance of water this stretch of US 89 is dotted with small towns settled by Mormon pioneers who established farms and ranches to supply the needs of the growing population of Salt Lake City.   The broad valleys are hemmed in by mountains on the east and west at the very western edge of the Colorado Plateau.

Sevier to Spanish Fork: Between Sevier and Spanish Fork, US Route 89 passes through two intermountain valleys, the northern part of the Sevier Valley and the Sanpete Valley.   These valleys were settled by Mormon pioneers who created a string of farming and ranching communities and are now part of the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area.   US 89 crosses a broad agricultural valley along the Sevier River between Sevier and Gunnison.   At Gunnison the highway turns east and crosses into the Sanpete Valley through which the San Pitch River flows providing water for the communities known as Little Denmark because of their Scandinavian heritage.   From Fairview north 89 follows a valley on the east side of the Wasatch Range to its intersection with US Route 6 at the top of Spanish Fork Canyon where it begins its descent into the Salt Lake Valley.

Spanish Fork to Brigham City: At Moark Junction at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon, US Route 89 turns north.   Highway 89 is the main street of the Salt Lake Valley running through its many towns and cities.   If you stay on Main Street or State Street and watch for the 89 federal highway shield you can’t go too far wrong.   Occasionally US Route 89 will join Interstate 15 and exit after a few miles.

Brigham City north to Idaho: At Brigham City US Route 89 begins to traverse the Rocky Mountains.   The first stretch climbs through the Wellsville Mountains into the Cache Valley to Logan.   From there Highway 89 enters Logan Canyon in the Bear River Range.   This section is designated as a National Scenic Byway.   It tops out at Bear Lake Summit and winds down the mountain to the shore of Bear Lake and the Idaho State Line.   Click below for the full size picture (opens in new tab).   Reload this page for the most current pictures.
