U.S. Route 97 is a major north-south United States highway in the western United States. It begins at a junction with Interstate 5 at Weed, California, and travels north to the Canadian Border at Osoyoos, becoming B.C. Highway 97 upon entering Canada. Major cities that lie on U.S. Highway 97 include Klamath Falls, Oregon, Bend, Oregon, Yakima, Washington, Ellensburg, Washington, and Wenatchee, Washington. For a time, the Alaska portion of the Alaska Highway was planned to be signed as U.S. 97, with signs even being produced.[1]
