Route Description
State Route 294 begins on Grass Valley Road at the Pershing–Humboldt county line. From there, the highway heads northward through the Grass Valley, passing through agricultural and rural residences of the greater Winnemucca area. After about 4 miles (6.4 km), the road turns more northeasterly to parallel the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
Development gradually increases near the highway as it parallels the railroad into the city limits. At an intersection with Hanson Street (SR 787), the route changes names to Haskell Street. SR 294 continues northeastward through Winnemucca, passing more residential areas and a city park, to reach its terminus at East Winnemucca Boulevard (SR 794/I-80 Business).

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
