U.S. Route 160

U.S. Highway 160 is a United States Highway in the United States with a length of 2372 km.

It opened in 1930 and runs west to east through five states:

Arizona: In Arizona, the highway begins in Tuba City and runs entirely within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation Reservation. The last place is Teec Nos Pos, where U.S. Highway 64, which runs a little further south, branches off.

2. New Mexico: In New Mexico, the highway runs through the extreme northwest corner and is only 1.4 kilometers long. There it opens up the Four Corners Monument, the only place in the USA where four states meet at one point.

Colorado: In Colorado, the highway reaches its highest point, the Wolf Creek Pass Continental Divide in the San Juan Mountains. It then meets the Rio Grande in South Fork, which it follows through Rio Grande County into the San Luis Valley to Alamosa. In Walsenburg (Huerfano County) it ends for the time being and runs south as part of Interstate 25 to Trinidad, from where it heads east again as Highway 160. Through Baca County, it runs south past its capital, Springfield, Colorado, to the Kansas border.

4. Kansas: In Kansas, it follows the line of U.S. Highway 83 south in Haskell County and crosses U.S. Highway 56 in Sublette, the capital of Kansas. In Meade County, it is routed together with U.S. Highway 54. East of Wellington, it crosses Interstate 25, and at Oxford in Sumner County, it crosses the Arkansas River. In far eastern Kansas, it meets U.S. Highway 400 at Crestline (Cherokee County) and heads north with it, reaching Pittsburg in Crawford County about 20 miles (30 km) north, then veering off to the east.

Missouri: In Missouri, the highway crosses Interstate 49 and reaches Springfield (Missouri), the only major city in its course. It continues east as part of U.S. Highway 60 and then continues south, but parallel to Highway 60. It used to meet Highway 60 again in Poplar Bluff, but since 2007 it ends southwest of Poplar Bluff at the intersection with U.S. Highway 67.
