American Fork Canyon

The American Fork Canyon - Alpine Scenic Loop Backway is more popular than ever. It is estimated that over a million people visit the canyon annually. Due to heavy use, the recreational areas and natural and cultural resources of the canyon are being impacted. The fees collected at the entrance station remain in the area to improve visitor services, maintain recreation facilities, enhance wildlife habitat and protect natural resources.
