Route description

US-40 at its junction with SR-208

The route begins on US-40 about 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Fruitland in the Uintah Basin region of the state.[3] From there, it travels north approximately 8 miles (13 km) before turning to the east and winding down Golden Stair Canyon. After exiting the canyon, the route turns back to the north as it crosses the Duchesne River and ends at its intersection with SR-35 just southeast of Tabiona.[3]

History
