State Route 177 is a short state highway in Riverside County that links Interstate 10 midway between the Coachella Valley and Blythe on the California/Arizona border, to State Route 62 near Rice. SR 177 travels along the eastern portion of the Joshua Tree National Park. Route 177, like the eastern 100 miles of SR 62, pass through some of the most desolate areas of the Mojave Desert. Constructed in the 1940's it was the former U.S. Highway 195 which connected with the former U.S. Routes 60/70 and then Box Canyon Road/Pierce Street to Mecca located near the Salton Sea.
