The road leads to the Asin Hot Springs in Sitio Asin in Nangalisan, Tuba, Benguet. Other resorts and hotsprings along the way include Pooten's Resort, Palm Grove Hot Springs and Mountains Resort, Riverview Water Park, and Neverland Mountain Resort.
The segment of the road in Baguio forms part of National Route 234 ( N234) and National Route 233 ( N233) of the Philippine highway network. The rest of the road leading to Tubao, La Union remains unnumbered and classified as a tertiary national road.

The Anduyan Bridge, which spans , carries along the route. After crossing the span, the road is narrowed to two lanes (one per direction) upon traversing the higher elevation that contains sharp curves and steep elevation upon entering Benguet province.
