Why Parley’s Canyon Is So Dangerous in Winter

Even experienced drivers get caught off guard. Parley’s Canyon combines:

Rapid temperature drops

Roads freeze quickly — especially at night and early morning.

Wind-driven snow

Ground blizzards reduce visibility to almost nothing.

Ice patches in shaded areas

Black ice develops under bridges, curves, and steep grades.

Heavy semi-truck traffic

When big rigs slow or spin out, the entire canyon bottlenecks instantly.

False sense of security

Roads may look wet, but they’re often glazed with invisible ice.

NXT Roadside assist responds to emergencies in Parley’s all winter long — we know the terrain, the

weather patterns, and the safest recovery methods.

What To Do If You Get Stuck or Slide

Winter emergencies create panic — but staying calm makes all the difference.

1. Stay inside your vehicle

It’s one of the busiest, most dangerous stretches of highway in Utah.

2. Turn on your hazard lights

Make your vehicle visible in low-visibility conditions.

3. Do not stand near the road or behind your vehicle

Other cars often lose control in the same icy areas.
