United States Highway 180 is an east-west United States highway. Like many three-digit routes, US 180 no longer meets its "parent", US 80. US 80 was decommissioned west of Dallas, Texas, and was replaced in Texas by Interstate 20 and Interstate 10.

Termini
As of 2004, the highway's eastern terminus is in Hudson Oaks, Texas (west of Fort Worth, near Weatherford) at an intersection with Interstate 20. Its western terminus is unclear; though signage at an intersection 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Flagstaff, Arizona indicates that the route ends at Arizona State Highway 64, many maps continue the US 180 designation to the south rim of the Grand Canyon (at Grand Canyon Village, Arizona).
Points of Interest
Four National Parks can be accessed on the highway, Grand Canyon National Park, Petrified Forest National Park, Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Carlsbad Caverns National Park. It also passes through the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountains in Arizona.
