Route description
State Route 121 began at an intersection with U.S. Route 50 (the Austin Highway) to the east of the community of Fallon.

The highway left the Recreation Area and continued its way to the community of Dixie Valley. The route continued northward for about 20 miles (32 km) and intersected with Settlement Road in Dixie Valley, where the state designation ended. Dixie Valley Road continues on as a gravel road.[3]
