    Huntington/Eccles Canyons. SR-31 from Fairview to Huntington SR-264, and SR-96 from Fairview to Colton. Spanning a route of 85 miles and passing through more than 100 million years of geological history, Utah's Highways 31, 264 and 96 combine to form this Scenic Byway. These winding roadways begin in the eastern and western valleys below the Wasatch Plateau and reach elevations of over 10,000 feet. Travelers can see and learn about prehistoric rock art, Native American history, early Spanish exploration routes, architecture of early settlers and first generation hardships associated with coal mining and railroad industries. The varieties of geologic strata provide a constantly changing landscape making the drive exhilarating during any season. Recreational activities include fishing and camping.

Nebo, the highest mountain in the Wasatch Range. There are several scenic overlooks, and wildlife watching opportunities are plentiful.
