Route Description
Starting at a junction with State Route 182 in Gulf Shores, the route runs north through Foley, Robertsdale, Loxley and Bay Minette, where it junctions with State Route 287. This portion of the route is a four-lane highway, known as the Gulf Shores Parkway, that was widened in the 1990s for hurricane evacuation purposes. Part of the road is co-routed with U.S. Highway 31.
North of Bay Minette the route becomes a much more rural road as it proceeds northeasterly towards Uriah and its final junction with State Route 21.

“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
