The highway consists of the eastern half of Utah State Route 9. It begins northeast of Springdale and runs east into Zion National Park, where it passes through the 1.1 miles (1.8 km) long Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel. After exiting the park, the highway continues east to U.S. Route 89 at Mount Carmel Junction.
