Officially it's designated a National Scenic Byway, a State Scenic Byway, and a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service.

The byway weaves through the heart of a landform of windblown silt deposits known as the Loess (pronounced "luss") Hills. This unique area possesses natural features found only in western Iowa and the Yellow River Valley of China.
