Beaver Canyon is a canyon in the Tushar Mountain Range 47 miles (19 km) southeast of Cedar City in the U.S. state of Utah. The canyon is situated nearby to the hamlets Whites Crossing and Porterville. The canyon is accessed by Beaver Canyon Scenic Byway (Highway 153),[1] ascending the Tushar Mountain Range and ends at Eagle Point Ski Resort. This drive continues the route east across the spine of the Tushars (the state-designated Kimberly/Big John Scenic Backway) descending to Junction in the Sevier River Valley. From Junction, the drive turns north on U.S. 89 along the scenic Sevier River to the junction with I-70

The 62-mile (24 km)-long canyon provides opportunities for hiking, biking, picnicking, rock-climbing, camping, and fishing in the summer.
