Route description

Starting from the northern edge of Bryce Canyon National Park, the route runs northward, passing a view area, and exiting Dixie National Forest within the first mile. It continues north until its terminus at the intersection with SR-12 less than two miles later.

Previous designation

This route number was originally in use from 1931 – 1971 as a route from Salina to Scipio. The route number was withdrawn when this route was transferred to SR-26, and subsequently designated as part of US-50.

Current designation

Utah State Route 12 originally had a short spur serving Bryce Canyon. This spur was split off into a distinct highway, SR-63, in 1975.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Garfield County.
