The road heads through fields and woods with some homes before crossing into Lathrop Township. Here, PA 167 heads northwest as an unnamed road, passing through forested areas with a few residences and occasional fields as it enters Brooklyn Township. The road heads through farmland and woodland with some homes, passing through the community of Brooklyn. The route turns to the north before heading northeast into more forested areas with some small fields and residences.

The road enters more agricultural areas with some woods and homes, turning to the northwest. The route comes to an intersection with PA 706 in Tiffany, turning west to form a concurrency with that route.
