State Highway 139 is a 72.1 mi (116 km) long state highway in far western Colorado. SH 139 begins in the south at exit 15 of Interstate 70 at Loma roughly fifteen miles west of Grand Junction. From there the road proceeds northward through very remote, very sparsely populated land to its northern end at State Highway 64 at Rangely. There are no significant settlements for the road's entire length. Near its midpoint, the road crosses Bookcliff Mountains at Douglas Pass at an elevation of 8,268 ft (2,520 m).
