The Huntington-Eccles Scenic Byway, also known as the Energy Loop, has a length of 85 miles. Allow four hours for travel.

The views are breathtaking on the Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byway. The route is rich with the history of mining in Utah’s coal country, with views of a coal-fired power plant and an operating mine along the way.

The Scofield Cemetery is witness to a mining disaster that killed hundreds of men and boys in 1900. The recovery site of a 9,500 year-old mammoth skeleton is interpreted just off the road and down a short trail near Huntington Reservoir.

In 2017, interpretive signs were placed along the byway where motorists can pull off and read about the unique features of the area. The byway, which traverses Huntington, Fairview and Eccles canyons, offers fishing, camping, hiking and ATV trails.

The paved road traverses state routes (SR) 31, 264 and 96 and can be accessed as it junctions with SR-10 in Huntington, SR-6 at the Scofield turn, and SR-89 in Fairview. Check road conditions before traveling in winter.

Be sure to make time on the weekend to visit the Stuart Guard Station in Huntington Canyon. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built the guard station during the 1920s Depression Era. The station now houses artifacts from that time and tells the story of how these young men built improvements throughout the forest to earn money for their families at home. The guard station also tells the story of the Manti-La Sal National Forest and its beginnings more than 100 years ago.

65 Casino Star Theater

The historic and ornate Casino Star Theatre opened on Jan. 13, 1913, in Gunnison as an amusement hall and movie theater. An addition in the late 1910s enhanced its stage facilities, making it better suited for live performances.

Today, the building serves as an entertainment center for the Gunnison Valley and Sanpete County. It still shows movies regularly while also hosting concerts, plays and other performances ranging from local school groups to well-known performers and groups such as Kurt Bestor and the Utah Shakespeare Festival. Check out the Casino Star Theatre’s website for a list of upcoming events and movie showtimes.

67 Visit The Center Of Utah

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the geographic center of Utah is located west of Highway 89 between Ephraim and Manti. In 2008, a Scout named Jesse Richmond erected a monument at the site as an Eagle Scout project. The site is fairly easy to reach; scan the QR code for directions. The GPS coordinates for the location are N 39 23.200 W 111 41.100.
