State Route 143

Utah State Route 143

SR 143 navigates across the Markagunt Plateau mountain range along a 51.21 mile course. One of the highest state routes in Utah (second only to SR 150), SR 143 reaches an elevation of 10,626 feet above sea level. Following the Brian Head-Panguitch Lake Scenic Byway, the state route originates in Parowan. Meandering south through the Hurricane Cliffs and Parowan Canyon, SR 143 leads to Cedar Breaks National Monument.

Turning east from Cedar Breaks Scenic Byway (SR 148), the scenic highway continues toward Blue Spring Mountain and Black Rock Valley. SR 143 turns northward from there to Prince Mountain, Panguitch Lake and Haycock Mountain. Curving northeast around Dickinson Hill, the state route lowers toward Panguitch through South Canyon, concluding at U.S. 89 in the city center.
