SH 389 just before it enters Branson from the south, December 2012
SH 389 begins at the New Mexico border as the continuation of NM 551. It traverses several small passes of up to 8,000 feet (2,400 m) before entering the town of Branson about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of the New Mexico border.
As the highway proceeds northward from Branson, valleys and hills surround the area and the Black Mesa comes into view. However, no mountains are visible.
This routing was originally designated by the Colorado Department of Transportation as SH 100 (deleted) and as a portion of US 160. When US 160 was rerouted in 1949, the former portion was numbered as SH 389, today's number. Several years later, the section near NM 551 at the border was deleted, leaving the terminus at Branson. This section was re-added in 1964 and SH 389 was entirely paved a year later.[2]
