The California State Route 14 (abbreviated CA 14) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California, which runs in a north -south direction.
The State Route begins at Interstate 5 near Santa Clarita and ends on U.S. Highway 395 near Inyokern It runs through the Mojave Desert and is therefore known as the High Desert.
