The Western half travels south on US 97 south to Weed, connects with IH 5 and continues south past Mt Shasta, California where it then turns east on SH 89 towards McCloud, Californial and soon after arrives at the gravel road coming down from Medicine Lake at the end of the eastern section, traversing a distance of 91.2 milles and arriving at the same location on SH 89 as the eastern half.
