Route description

The byway goes between La Pine and just past Lakeview at the California border. It runs southeast on Oregon Route 31 for most of its length, then continues at the intersection with U.S. Route 395 to the Oregon-California border.

It passes multiple natural attractions including Fort Rock State Park, Hole-in-the-Ground, Summer Lake, and Summer Lake Hot Springs.

The highway is a 2-lane, rural road for its entire length.
