Ogden River Scenic Byway (UT-39)
44-mile state highway beginning at the mouth of Ogden Canyon and climbing through three distinct scenic zones: the narrow Ogden Canyon gorge, Pineview Reservoir, and the Monte Cristo range summit at over 9,000 feet. Officially designated a Utah State Scenic Byway. Popular with motorcyclists for its steady stream of curves and canyon walls that close in to near-lane width in the lower section. Seasonal closure of the upper Monte Cristo section (roughly December through April).
