The Utah Office of Tourism has published a new Scenic Byways in Utah guide at www.utah.travel, which offers information about the state's 26 state and national scenic byways. The direct link is http://sgsdigital.com/pubs/ut/byway/. Utah's Heritage areas are also listed in the 64-page publication.

Utah has more than 2,220 miles of scenic byways, including eight National scenic Byways and 18 State Scenic Byways.

One of the National Scenic Byways, Highway 12, carries the highest honor as Utah's first and only All-American Road. The 124-mile route is located in southern Utah, ascending over 9,000 feet while passing over Boulder Mountain before reaching Torrey.

Utah's newest National Scenic Byway is the Patchwork Parkway State Route 143 from Parowan to Panguitch.
