Route

SR 225 begins at the intersection of SR 535 / Interstate 80 Business Loop (Idaho Street) and Silver Street, just west of central Elko. From here, the route leads northwest along the east side of Elko Regional Airport to the interstate 80 junction . The SR 225 continues to the northwest, winds through a narrow valley to the Adobe Summit in the Adobe Range . From there it follows a northerly direction, passes Dinner Station , a ghost town , and crosses the Deep Creek Highway ( SR 226 ) at Tuscarora Junction. It then heads north, past North Fork , crossing several county roads before reaching Wild Horse on the south bank of Wild Horse Reservoir . The road then winds its way along the east and north banks of the reservoir before cutting through the narrow and winding canyon of the Owyhee River . After the canyon, the valley widens and the SR 225 runs through Mountain City . Further north-west, the valley widens significantly before the line reaches Owyhee. A few miles north of Owyhee, the route reaches the Idaho state line and becomes Idaho State Highway 51 .
