Historical markers tell the story of a rich history of natives and emigrants along the route. The byway route accesses the Audubon Society's Great Washington Birding Trail; Osoyoos Lake Memorial Park along with Alta Lake and Conconully State Parks as well as the Highland Historic Loop and the Many Lakes Historic Loop.
