PA 104 begins at an intersection with US 11/US 15 in Liverpool Township, Perry County, with a park and ride lot located southwest of the intersection. From here, the route heads north on a two-lane undivided road between woods to the west and farm fields to the east.[2][3] A short distance after beginning, the road crosses into Susquehanna Township in Juniata County and heads into agricultural areas with some homes, curving to the northwest.[2][4]
Upon crossing the Mahantango Creek, PA 104 enters Chapman Township in Snyder County and heads north through wooded areas with some farm fields and residences, running a short distance east of the North Branch Mahantango Creek. After passing through Meiserville, the road heads into Perry Township and continues through a mix of farmland and woodland with some homes. The route passes near Aline and Shadle before coming to an intersection with PA 35. After this, PA 104 passes through agricultural areas with some residences before heading into forested areas and crossing into Washington Township and passing to the east of Shade Mountain.
