State Route 260 is a highway within Sevier County in central Utah that connects SR-24 to US-50 while passing through the town of Aurora in a span of four miles (6 km).

[2] The route was removed from the state highway system in 1969,[3] but the Utah Transportation Commission restored it in 1992, soon after I-70 was completed in the area.

At one of the meetings relating to disposition of the former alignment of US-89, Sevier County proposed that the state take over the road, used locally as a shortcut to reach I-15 via US-50.

Early plans had it becoming part of SR-24, with the present SR-24 to Salina (old US-89) being given to the county, but this did not happen, and a new designation - State Route 170 - was used for the connection.

[4] About 1.5 years later, in October 1993, the commission realized that placing SR-170 and I-70 in close proximity might cause confusion, and changed the number to SR-260.
