State Highway 172 is a 24.5 mi (39.4 km) long state highway in southwestern Colorado. SH 172 begins in the south at the New Mexico state line where the road becomes New Mexico State Road 511. From there, the route travels through the Southern Ute Indian Reservation northward through Ignacio where it meets the western end of State Highway 151. From Ignacio, the road gradually arcs to the west and passes westward through Falfa before again turning northward to meet its northern end at a junction with U.S. Highway 160 approximately eight miles southeast of Durango.
