Termini

As of 2005, the highway's southern terminus is at U.S. Highway 89 south of Page, Arizona. Its northern terminus is at the Arizona/Utah state line south of Kanab, Utah. The route formerly continued into Utah to rejoin U.S. 89 in Kanab, but Utah now considers this Utah State Route 11.
This was part of mainline U.S. 89 until the construction of Glen Canyon Dam. In 1960, U.S. 89 was moved to a new, more northerly route and the old route became U.S. 89A.
U.S. 89A runs near or through Lee's Ferry, the Navajo Bridge, Vermilion Cliffs, the Kaibab Plateau, and Fredonia, Arizona. The eastern portion of the highway runs through part of the Navajo Nation. From Jacob Lake, Arizona State Route 67 leads south to the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
A second segment of U.S. 89A existed from 1941 to 1992. This segment's southern terminus was at U.S. 89 north of Prescott, Arizona and its northern terminus was at U.S. 89 in Flagstaff, Arizona. The Arizona Department of Transportation renumbered it as a state route in 1992 as they felt it served only as a regional route and thus did not deserve a national US number.

U.S. 89A is entirely within Arizona, though it formerly entered Utah (see above).
