State Route 18 (SR-18) is a state highway in southern
Utah, running for 51.005 miles in
Washington and
Iron Counties from
St. George to
Beryl Junction near
Toquerville. It forms part of the
Legacy Loop Highway from St. George to
Parowan. The highway closely follows the route of the
Old Spanish Trail through
Dixie National Forest.
Route description
St. George to Veyo
SR-18 begins at a frontage road just south of an interchange with
I-15 in southern St. George and heads north through the west side of the city. It continues north through
Snow Canyon State Park and continues northwest through Wide Canyon to
Dammeron Valley and past
Veyo Volcano. It then turns north into
Veyo, running through the center of the town. This portion of the trail is known for the
1857 Mountain Meadows massacre, a controversial event in both
Utah and
Mormon history which occurred just off the route of what is now route 18.
SR-18 was commissioned in 1918, generally along the current route. In 1953, the southern terminus was designated the former SR-1 (
U.S. Route 91) in St. George. In 1969, 1.084 miles was transferred from the former SR-1 to SR-18, extending the southern terminus to
SR-34. In 1975, the section of SR-34 between SR-18 and I-15 was transferred to SR-18.
