[edit] Route description
The highway begins at I-15 in the community of Baker, the last town travelers from Los Angeles or Las Vegas see before making their trek across Death Valley. It ends at the California-Nevada border, where Nevada Route 373 begins. It is the "Lost Highway" featured in David Lynch's film Lost Highway.
