Route description

KY 167, a rural secondary highway as classified by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, runs for almost exactly 20 miles (32.2 km) from Monticello to the Kentucky/Tennessee border, where, upon entering Tennessee, the road is known as Tennessee Route 154. The terrain is mountainous, and the two-lane road is unpaved in spots, and travelers are cautioned to take their time and to remain alert while driving it: the 20 miles (32.2 km) route takes approximately one hour to drive because of these factors.

Unincorporated communities along the route include Number One, Wray Gap, Cooper, Sumpter and Mount Pisgah.
