It spans approximately 83 miles (134 km) as it travels from Fairview through the Manti-La Sal National Forest southeast to Huntington via Huntington Canyon, and northeast to near Colton via Eccles Canyon.

The route begins in Fairview at the intersection of US-89 and SR-31 following SR-31 eastward and immediately connects with the north end of SR-231.

As it exits the city, it turns northeast to follow Cottonwood Creek towards and into Fairview Canyon, about 2 miles (3.2 km) from the beginning of the route.

The south branch continues to follow SR-31, climbing up to over 9,600 feet (2,900 m) elevation before dropping down to the east-southeast as it passes Huntington Reservoir, Cleveland Reservoir, and turning to the northeast towards Electric Lake.
