It runs for {{convert|21.732|mi|km}} from the Sanpete-Emery County line near Joe's Valley Reservoir to SR-10 three miles (5 km) north of Castle Dale.
==Route description== SR-29 begins at the Emery County line, in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, paralleling the San Rafael River. Near the county line is also Joe's Valley State Park and Joe's Valley Reservoir, where the road diverts around the reservoir to the north, then resumes an east south-easterly course about {{convert|18|mi|km}} into Orangeville. Just off SR-29, about {{convert|10|mi|km}} west north-west of Orangeville, is the Wilberg Mine, location of a fire that took 27 lives in 1984. Just west of Orangeville SR-29 intersects with SR-57. After Orangeville it continues about four miles (6 km) to where it terminates at the junction with State Route 10, four miles (6 km) east of Orangeville, and three miles (5 km) north of Castle Dale.<ref name=u29desc/>
==History== The road from SR-11 (by 1926 US-89) in Ephraim to SR-10 at Castle Dale Junction was added to the state highway system in 1915.<ref name=resolutions-29>{{UDOT Resolutions |routenum=29 }} {{small|(5.04 MB)}}, updated October 2007, accessed May 2008</ref> The state legislature numbered it SR-29 in 1927, along with a branch from Orangeville Junction south to SR-10.<ref>{{cite UTSR law|year=1927|quote=29.
