Signage for SR 67 begins at Bright Angel Point along the North Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park.

Heading into Kaibab National Forest on a northward path,[5] the roadway is surrounded by a narrow meadow bordered by evergreen trees.

[12][13] SR 67 existed as a route to reach the north rim of the Grand Canyon National Park as early as 1927 as a dirt road.

[18] In 1985, the highway received the designation of Kaibab Plateau – North Rim Parkway as an Arizona State Scenic Byway.

[6][19] Two years later, ADOT obtained the right-of-way for improvement of the highway from its northern terminus approximately 10 miles (16 km) south.

[20] In 1989, an additional right-of-way was acquired by ADOT from its southern terminus approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) north.
