California 127 - California Travel Information

California 127

California 127 starts its northerly journey in Baker, home of the tall thermometer and Bun Boy water. It immediately leaves the bustle of Interstate 15 in search of desert solitude of Death Valley. Although it does not enter Death Valley itself, California 127 connects with California 178 at Shoshone and California 190 at Death Valley Junction. From there, California 127 quickly leaves the state, changing into Nevada 373 on its way to Amargosa Valley, Nevada, and Junction U.S. 95.

	Northbound California 127 approaching Junction California 190. This brown sign is used because the primary destination of westbound California 190 is Death Valley National Park. The state shield should be green, of course, but it is brown on this button copy sign. Photo taken 01/20/02.
	Northbound California 127 mileage sign after the California 190 junction. Note the wide font used on the California 127 shield as well as the button copy format of the U.S. 95 shield. Photos taken 01/20/02.

	Southbound California 127 end shield at its junction with the unsigned Interstate 15 business route.
