The highway begins at a junction with State Route 98 in Ocotillo, California, and runs north through an interchange with Interstate 8. This part is also called Imperial Highway. The highway crosses into San Diego County and its name changes to Sweeney Pass Road. Farther north, the name of the highway changes to the Great Southern Overland Stage Route of 1849 at a remote junction. The highway then crosses State Route 78 at Scissors Crossing in a desert community now called Shelter Valley (formerly called Earthquake Valley), and its name changes to San Felipe Road. The highway ends at a junction with State Route 79 near the community of Warner Springs.
