Huntington Canyon travels between Fairview and Huntington in central Utah. It follows UT 31, a two-lane paved road suitable for all types of vehicles. The byway is 48 miles long and remains open year-round. Snow tires or chains may be required at times from October through April.
Beginning in Fairview, the byway climbs through Fairview Canyon with Cottonwood Creek flowing nearby. Cottonwood Creek accompanies you until it passes beneath the byway through the Narrows Tunnel. Douglas fir, Engelmann spruce, and patches of aspen cover the steep slopes. The byway turns south and skirts the shores of three picturesque lakes; good trout fishing may be found here. The byway continues its descent through Huntington Canyon and is now accompanied by Huntington Creek. You’ll end your scenic journey across the Wasatch Plateau in the community of Huntington.
There are several camping areas along the byway, many situated on the banks of bubbling creeks. Gooseberry is a short drive north of the byway and offers eight campsites. Old Folks Flat also offers eight sites set among spruce and fir trees. The campsites can accommodate tents or recreational vehicles up to 30 feet. Forks of Huntington Campground lies on the banks of Huntington Creek and has six tent-only campsites. A hiking trail accessed here will take you along Left Fork Creek. Bear Creek is a county-maintained campground with twenty sites for tents and recreational vehicles. Two miles east of Huntington is a state park with twenty-two sites, some with hookups.
