Electric Lake Overlook Scenic Byway Sign

Electric Lake Overlook sits at mile 39 of the 239-mile Energy Loop Huntington & Eccles Canyon byway, at an elevation of 8,662 feet. The sign faces due east (90°), directly toward the sunrise, so early morning is when the light aligns most closely with the view. Terrain drops 198 feet within 600 meters of the overlook, indicating a moderately steep grade off the pullout rather than a sheer cliff. Sunrise and sunset times shift with the season: around 5:58 a.m. near the June solstice and as late as 7:43 a.m. near the December solstice, with sunset ranging from about 5:05 p.m. in December to nearly 9:00 p.m. in June. The nearest towns are well off the byway — Santaquin (39.8 miles northwest), Payson (41.1 miles northwest), and Spanish Fork (42.5 miles north-northwest) — so this is a remote stop along the route rather than one close to services. For site-specific details, the Price Ranger District can be reached at 435-636-3500.
