Alton has served as an agricultural settlement in southern Utah since the 1850s. Set on the western edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in Kane County, this small community lies along US Route 89 amid ranchland and high-country terrain. Latter-day Saint settlers established Alton during Utah’s pioneer era, and its compact rural character remains markedly different from the busier park towns along the same route. The Paunsaugunt Plateau is also home to Bryce Canyon National Park, where erosion has formed its celebrated amphitheatres of hoodoos.
