California State Route 120, in northern California, is the end of the freeways heading east from the San Francisco Bay Area. It begins in the west intersecting Interstate 5 to extend Interstate 205 through Manteca. This section is referred to as "the 120 bypass". In east Manteca the freeway ends and becomes a highway which continues to head east through Escalon, Oakdale and other various small towns. East of Oakdale there are no major cities for the 90 miles as it heads up into the Sierra Nevada mountains to Yosemite National Park. Once in Yosemite, it is known as "Tioga Pass Road" as that it travels through the Tioga Pass on its 45 mile journey to its eastern-most point at U.S. Highway 395.
CALIFORNIA, one of the Pacific Coast states of the U.S., bounded on the N by Oregon, on the E by Nevada and Arizona, on the S by the Mexican state of Baja California, and on the W by the Pacific Ocean.
California was the most urbanized state in the U.S. In 1990, about 93% of all Californians lived in areas defined as urban, and the rest lived in rural areas.
California is governed under a constitution adopted in 1879, with subsequent revisions and amendments.
California120 is a primary east-west route between Interstate 5 near Manteca and U.S. 6 near the Nevada State Line via Yosemite National Park.
California120 joins with California 108 at Oakdale, and those two routes continue together for 26 miles, one of the longest signed state route multiplexes in the state.
California120 meets U.S. 395 near Lee Vining and within view of Mono Lake, and the highway skirts the Mono National Forest en route to Junction U.S. 6 at Benton, within view of Boundary Peak, the tallest mountain in Nevada (even though the mountain straddles the California-Nevada State Line).
