Many visitors each year come to the Manti-LaSal National Forest to view the beautiful scenery from Skyline Drive. The Skyline Drive corridor contains portions of the Utah Adventure Highway and the Great Western Trail. It provides panoramic views and is one of the most scenic drives in the Nation. For most of this distance between Tucker on U.S. 50-6 and Mayfield near U.S. 89, its elevation ranges from 9,000 to 11,000 feet. Roads between communities in Sanpete and Castle Valleys intersect the drive offering easy access and egress.
Some sections are suitable for high clearance four-wheel drive vehicles only.
Certain sections of the road are not open until late July or early August. The highest point on Skyline Drive is at an elevation of 10,904 feet. It gives visitors views of Wasatch Plateau, adjacent mountain ranges, and Sanpete Valley. The Skyline Drive can be accessed by several different canyons. Coming from the north by way of Highway 50-6 enter Skyline Drive at Tucker Rest Stop.
