U.S. Highway 163 is not related to U.S. Highway 63 despite the number's implication of such. It currently runs for 64 miles (103 km), from 4 miles west of Bluff, Utah at the junction of U.S. Highway 191, to Kayenta, Arizona at the junction of U.S. Highway 160. It cuts through the heart of Monument Valley, and travels through southern San Juan County, Utah and northern Navajo County, Arizona, the southern 44 miles of which runs across a part of the Navajo Nation. It passes through the small town of Mexican Hat, Utah, and crosses the San Juan River on the south side of town.

Between 1934 and 1938, a different U.S. Highway 163 existed between Des Moines, Iowa and Oskaloosa, Iowa. This was a previous alignment of U.S. Highway 63 before the latter was rerouted to go north. This road is now Iowa Highway 163.
