The highway is part of the Trail of the Ancients National Scenic Byway

The highway heads north–northwest paralleling the San Juan River for approximately 9.5 miles (15.3 km) until it reaches its northern terminus at the Utah state line, roughly 8 miles (13 km) southeast of Aneth.

The roadway continues west as SR-162 towards Aneth, Montezuma Creek, and Bluff, Utah.

[3] Simultaneously, in June 1965, Utah State Route 262 was extended southeast from Montezuma Creek to meet SH 41 (this extension became SR-162 in 2004).
