Parley’s Canyon is a canyon located in the U.S. state of Utah. The canyon provides the route of Interstate 80 (I-80) (and previously the Lincoln Highway U.S. Route 40 and a railroad) up the western slope of the Wasatch Mountains and is a relatively wide straight canyon other than near its mouth. The mountain pass at the top of the canyon is known as Parley’s Summit. With an elevation of 7120 feet (2170 m) the pass is the highest point along I-80 in the state of Utah.
