The second section runs east-northeast for 49 miles (79 km), from the marina and ferry at Halls Crossing, to rejoin State Route 95 near Natural Bridges National Monument.

[4] The State Road Commission designated SR-276 in 1965, linking SR-95 with the Bullfrog Basin portion of the new Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

However, when built in the late 1960s,[5] the final route was east of the existing county road, only joining the initial proposal along Hansen Creek south of Ticaboo.

This was an existing county road, only requiring minor realignments west of Red House Spring.

Ferry service between Bullfrog Basin and Halls Crossing began in 1985,[7] and that year SR-276 was extended to absorb SR-263 for continuity.
