SH-167 provides access to the Simplot feed lot, the U.S. Air Force recreation area at C.J.

Strike Dam, and properties on Simco Road as it continues north, and along the westernmost side of the base until the intersection with SH-67, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of the base's main gate.

The history of these roads goes back to at least the 1930s, when the first all-weather gravel road connecting Grand View and Mountain Home was built (represented by today's SH-167, SH-67 and SH-51), and can be seen on a 1937 map of the area.

[3] When Idaho expanded SH-67 to four lanes for base-bound traffic, the segment south to Grand View was delisted and unsigned from the official state highway system, yet was still maintained by the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), and still referred to in the milepoint log as "(SH-67)" twice.
