History

View north from the south end of SR 767

Ruby Valley Road follows part of what was once known as the Hastings Cutoff,[2] a route which was at the time thought to be a more direct route of the California Trail through the northeastern part of Nevada.

SR 767 was established as a state highway on July 1, 1976.[4] It has remained unchanged since its adoption into the state highway system.

The entire route is in Elko County.
