The 47.17-kilometer (29.31 mi)[1] highway traverses the municipality of Tuba and the city of Baguio in Benguet, and the municipalities of Pugo, Tubao, and Agoo in La Union.
It is one of the four main roads used by motorists and travelers to access Baguio from the northwestern lowlands of Luzon.[2] The highway's several rehabilitation and development efforts[3] led to the road's categorization as an "all-weather road",[4] and is the preferred highway by motorists to use over the older Kennon Road.[5]
The entire highway is designated as National Route 208 (N208) of the Philippine highway network.
