"The Center of Scenic America"
WELCOME TO SCENIC UTAH
Scenic Utah works to protect and enhance the scenic qualities of our communities, countrysides, and roadways.
We partner with geographically diverse groups who share the common goal of safeguarding the visual character of Utah,
and we promote policies that encourage community engagement, protect scenic beauty, and limit visual blight.
