Route description
The highway begins at the intersection of Main Street (SR-32) and Center Street in Kamas and heads east on the latter as a two-lane undivided highway. Once exiting Kamas, the route dips southeast and continues as such until reaching Samak, where the road turns northeast briefly. Soon after, the highway turns south and southeast again. After continuing in a general southeast direction, the highway turns northeast and north and continues as such until reaching the Wyoming border south of Evanston.[4]
The road is the highest paved road in Utah when it crosses Bald Mountain Pass at an altitude of 10,715 ft (3,266 m).[5]
During the winter months the road is closed to automobiles and is used by snowmobiles.
