About Emigration Canyon and SH-36
Emigration Canyon is one of the most scenic sections of State Highway 36 and serves as the mountain crossing between Cache Valley and the Bear Lake region. At more than 6,400 feet above sea level, the canyon experiences significant seasonal weather and is an important location for monitoring winter travel conditions.
State Highway 36 is a well-traveled route for residents, outdoor enthusiasts, and vacationers heading to Bear Lake, Caribou National Forest, and the surrounding mountains. During summer, the highway carries heavy recreational traffic, while winter brings snowmobilers and travelers seeking access to mountain recreation.
Because the roadway climbs through a narrow mountain canyon, weather conditions can change rapidly. Snow, ice, blowing snow, and reduced visibility are common during winter months.
Although officially known as Emigration Canyon rather than Emigration Pass, this location functions as a mountain pass and is appropriate to include among Idaho’s notable mountain crossings. It is one of the primary high-elevation routes through the Bear River Range.
The Emigration Canyon Webcam provides travelers with a valuable real-time look at roadway and weather conditions before crossing this scenic mountain corridor.
