State Route 222 (SR-222) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah. Spanning 3.3 miles (5.3 km), it connects the city of Midway on SR-113 with Wasatch Mountain State Park and non-state-maintained connections to Park City and Salt Lake County via Guardsman Pass.
The route begins in the Heber Valley - part of the Wasatch Back - at the intersection of Main Street and Center Street in the city of Midway and heads west along Main Street through from the center of town through shops and homes. After two blocks, the route turns north on 200 West Street and turns west again two blocks later onto 200 North street. After travelling west for 0.6 miles (0.97 km) through residential communities, the route turns again to the north along Homestead Drive, passing by the Homestead Resort, Homestead caldera and the Utah Golf Resort and leaving the city limits. Just outside Midway, Homestead Drive curves to the west at the entrance of Wasatch Mountain State Park. At this point, State Route 222 turns right onto Warm Springs Road to continue north, taking a jog to the east to skirt the east edge of the golf course on the state park (staying on Homestead westward is the route of former SR-220). As it passes the golf course, the route merges with Pine Canyon Road and resumes its northward direction, passing the Wasatch Mountain State Park Campground as it begins to climb out of the valley and follow Pine Creek into the foothills of the eastern Wasatch Range. Just after passing the campgrounds, the route ends at the pavement change coincident with a gate. The remainder of the road, which is closed in the winter and not designated as part of the state route, continues north over Guardsman Pass to meet with other roads that provide access to Park City in Summit County via SR-224 to the north, and Brighton in Salt Lake County via SR-190 to the west.
