Marysvale Canyon

Coordinates: 38°31′N 112°16′W / 38.517°N 112.267°W / 38.517; -112.267 Marysvale Canyon or Sevier Canyon (play /sɛˈvɪər/) runs eight miles (13 km) north from Marysvale, Utah to the town of Sevier, Utah. It is a steep walled canyon formed by the flow of the meandering Sevier River.

Points of interest in the canyon are Big Rock Candy Mountain, old mining sites, and the rail tunnels along the old Marysvale Branch of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad that has been converted to a hiking/biking path.
