[edit] Route description

From its southern terminus east of Salt Lake City and west of Park City, the highway goes north, crossing the Mountain Dell Golf Course. It partially circumnavigates the Little Dell Reservior before it makes another turn for the north. Right before the Morgan County line the route turns northwest. When it reaches East Canyon State Park, SR-65 heads north-northwest, continuing this general direction until its northern terminus.

[edit] History

When it was formed in 1931, it took the current route of Emigration Canyon Road, from Salt Lake City to SR-4, now I-80. SR-65 was extended in 1938. In 1945 the extension was deleted and two years later, all roads located within This Is The Place Heritage Park were included in the state route designation. Then, in 1953, the highway went from SR-186 to SR-3, now I-84, through Emigration Canyon.

In 1969, the route from SR-186 to I-80 through Emigration Canyon was deleted, forming the current highway's route. ^[2]
