About U.S. Highway 89

U. S. Highway 89 was commissioned in 1926 running from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, through the corner of Idaho, and the length of Utah and Arizona, ending on the Mexico border at Nogales, AZ. In 1934 it was extended through Montana, ending at Piegan on the Canadian border, for a total of 1685 miles. Interstate 19 in Arizona replaced the segment south of Flagstaff which was officially truncated in 1992. In Utah highway 89 follows the route of State Street, a highway established in pioneer times, from Brigham City to Manti. In Arizona it has an alternate route that begins at the Utah border, passes the north rim of the Grand Canyon, and meets the main route at Bitter Springs.

Highway 89 has no designated route through Yellowstone National Park, although it enters the park at Gardiner, Montana, and exits it through the South Entrance. To make the connection you would follow the Grand Loop Road to the South Entrance Road and head south out of the park.
