From Route 152 to the Merced-Stanislaus County line, the Coast Range is visible to the west. Near the southern boundary of Stanislaus County, the freeway traverses the side hill slopes of the Coast Range.
Vista points are located at two points in Stanislaus County. One is located just south of Shiells Road Undercrossing and the other about a half-mile south of Salado Creek. Pairs of Safety Roadside rests - one for each direction of traffic - provide comfort stations and picnic tables at two locations.
