Scenic Byway 143 - Utah's Patchwork Parkway
Brian Head Peak, UT
The bare rock face of this peak towers 11,000 feet above sea level and is the most prominent landmark on SR-143.
From the summit of Brian Head Peak, one can look out at Nevada’s Wheeler and Highland Peaks, Arizona’s Mount Trumbull and Navajo Mountain, Beaver County’s Tushar Range and the Paunsagunt, Table Cliffs, and Aquarius Plateaus. Then, turning west, little-known ranges with mysterious names such as the Never Summer Mountains and the Wah Wahs become visible.
