Utah State Route 97 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah. It is a 5.347-mile (8.605 km) road in Weber County, starting as a minor arterial in the west and increasing to a major collector road in the east that runs from Hooper through Roy to the northwest gate of Hill Air Force Base.
The route's western terminus is in Hooper at the intersection of SR-37 (5900 West) and 5500 South. From here it travels east as 5500 South towards Roy. After approximately 2.6 miles (4.2 km), just west of SR-108 (3500 West), the route shifts to the south by one block, becoming 5600 South. It continues to the east through Roy, through an interchange with I-15, and ends just east of the interstate at the Hill Air Force Base northwest gate.
State Route 97 was originally created in 1965 as a short (0.25 miles (0.40 km)) major access road between SR-106/US-91 (now I-15) and Hill Air Force Base. In 1969, it was extended westward 2 miles (3.2 km) along 5600 West to SR-108 (3500 West).
