Route description
editThe route begins at State Route 4 as a two-lane road, and heads north to its northern terminus at Mount Reba, where it expands to make way for the Bear Valley Mountain Ski Resort parking lot. Because SR 207 is the only way to access the ski resort, the state highway has more traffic during winter than when it is not snowing in the mountains. The route totals about a mile. After its intersection with SR 207, SR 4 quickly becomes a one-lane highway as it heads east to Ebbetts Pass. Winter traffic to SR 207 and the ski resort may be further exacerbated due to the fact that the segment of SR 4 through Ebbetts Pass typically closes during the winter months.
SR 207 is not part of the National Highway System,[2] a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.[3]
Major intersections
editExcept where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was when the route was established, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers to an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary ().[1] Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The entire route is in Alpine County.
