The road enters Rexburg, reaching an interchange with US 20. The route continues eastward into Rexburg as Main Street before turning northward on 2nd East. The highway proceeds northward out of Rexburg, before bending northeast, traveling parallel to US 20, and the mileage posts reflect the mileage of the old US 20 routing. The roadway bends eastward, passing through Sugar City, before turning north. The route bends back eastward, restarting its mileage at exactly 100 miles, and proceeds to the community of Teton.

The highway continues east, passing through Newdale, and continuing through rural area. It continues, bending southeast, before bending northeastward, and afterward, bending back southeast. The highway travels east, intersecting SH-32, before turning south. The route passes the Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport and enters the city of Driggs. The road proceeds southward through Driggs, intersecting SH-31 in the community of Victor, and bending southeast. As the Teton Pass Highway, it continues to its eastern termination at the Wyoming state line, at an approximate elevation of 6,690 feet (2,040 m) above sea level.[2]
