It consists of two disconnected segments. The southern segment begins at US 18 south-southeast of Parmelee and proceeds 20.826 miles (33.516 km) to a rural intersection just south of Norris. The much-longer northern segment, which is 146.629 miles (235.977 km) long, begins at an intersection with SD 44 just south of Corn Creek and ends at the North Dakota state line north of McLaughlin, where the roadway continues as North Dakota Highway 6 (ND 6).
Portions of SD 63 north of US 14/SD 34 west of Hayes are part of the Lewis and Clark Trail. The segment of the highway, from US 14/SD 34 just west of Hayes, to US 212 west of Eagle Butte, is part of the Native American Scenic Byway.
The portion of the highway, from just north of the intersection with SD 44 to a point approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Belvidere, is a dirt road.
