    Logan Canyon Byway. Southeastern Utah - US 89 from Logan to the Utah / Idaho Border.
    Following the 1800's-era path of fur trappers and mountain men, on their way to great lakeside rendezvous', this Byway begins at the mouth of Logan Canyon, just east of the city of Logan, in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
