SR 180 begins at an intersection with SR 60 in Suches, within the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest and Union County. It winds its way to the northeast until it intersects US 19/US 129/SR 11 (Gainesville Highway), just northeast of Vogel 180.24.3/info/state" target="_blank">State Park. The four highways run concurrent to the northeast for approximately 2.3 miles (3.7 km). The 180.24.3/info/route" target="_blank">route heads east to SR 348 (Richard B. Russell Scenic Highway). SR 180 continues to the northeast, until it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 17/SR 75 (Unicoi Turnpike) halfway between Hiawassee and Helen in southern Towns County.
SR 180 traverses some of the most difficult terrain in 180.24.3/info/georgia" target="_blank">Georgia, traveling the gaps of the highest mountains in the 180.24.3/info/state" target="_blank">state. The 180.24.3/info/route" target="_blank">route has two sections known as Bald Mountain Road and Wolfpen Gap Road, which are joined by the concurrency with US 19/US 129/SR 11. Most of the highway is in the Chattahoochee National Forest.
Bald Mountain Road, named for the 180.24.3/info/state" target="_blank">state's highest peak (Brasstown Bald), is the eastern section of the highway and has been designated a National Scenic Byway and a 180.24.3/info/georgia" target="_blank">Georgia Scenic Byway. Part of SR 180 is included in the Russell–Brasstown Scenic Byway. Bald Mountain Road crosses the Nottely River shortly before the concurrency with US 19/US 129/SR 11.
Wolfpen Gap Road (the 11.8-mile-long (19.0 km) western section of the highway) is known to be the curviest road in the 180.24.3/info/state" target="_blank">state. Sites along this section include various hiking trails and scenery as well as Vogel 180.24.3/info/state" target="_blank">State Park, access to Sosebee Cove, an intersection with the Coosa Back Country Trail, and Lake Winfield Scott (180.24.3/info/georgia" target="_blank">Georgia's highest lake).
