Spanish Fork Canyon 85

In autumn, the mountains of Spanish Fork Canyon become a rich palette of fall hues. By following US-6 past Spanish Fork’s famous windmills, you can be in the midst of trees exploding with color within minutes. Continuing your drive will take you through scenic mountain landscapes with the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest on the north side of the canyon and the Manti-La Sal National Forest to the south. The road crosses over Soldier Summit and descends through Price Canyon into Price. Alternatively, turn onto US-89 and head south into Sanpete County, where you can enjoy the historic downtown areas of small towns such as Ephraim, Mt. Pleasant and Spring City.
