Colorado State Highway 67 is split into six sections that generally follow the same north to south corridor but are separated by segments of locally maintained roadway or overlap with other state maintained highways. The southern section (Route 067A) connects SH 96 at Wetmore with SH 115 (Robinson Avenue) in Florence, a distance of 11.05 miles. Route 067B extends SH 67 north 3.51 miles from SH 115 in Florence to U.S. 50. Fremont County Road 67 and Teller County Road 86 (Phantom Canyon Road) link the the state highway from U.S. 50 with Route 067C at Victor. The third section runs 5.17 miles north from Victor Avenue and 4th Street to the Cripple Creek city limits.

SH 67 was turned over to local control through Cripple Creek, with state maintenance resuming northward as Route 067F. This 17.35 mile long section takes SH 67 north to U.S. 24 at Divide. An overlap with U.S. 24 leads east to Woodland Park, where Route 067D leads 23.12 miles north to Deckers at the intersection with CR 75 and CR 126 (Deckers Road). After a locally maintained section between Deckers and Rampart Ridge Road, SH 67 resumes again (Route 67E) 10.10 miles en route to U.S. 85 in Sedalia.
