List of Utah Scenic Byways

The legislature in the U.S. state of Utah has designated a system of Utah Scenic Byways^[1] in addition to the National Scenic Byways that are defined within the state.^[2] Some of the state designated routes overlap with the federal designations. The Utah Department of Transportation has signed both the state and federal designations with a Scenic Byway plaque directly below the route number. The byway system is defined at Utah Administrative Code section R926-13.^[3] The state has also designated some local, county and Forest Service roads as Scenic Backways.^[2]
