Leaving Lake Tahoe this weekend I took the entirety of California State Route 267 north towards Truckee and Donner Pass.
CA 267 is a relatively short state highway traversing north from the shore of Lake Tahoe in Placer County 13 miles to I-80/CA 89 located in Truckee in Nevada County. The entirety of CA 267 is signed on Shore Road. Heading north from CA 28 there is a small guide sign showing the distance to Truckee and I-80.
The southern part of CA 267 is known as the Senator Paul J. Lunardi Memorial Highway.
CA 267 northbound ascends on a steep grade to the 7,179 foot Brockway Summit.
CA 267 north from Brockway Summit has a 5 mile downhill grade at 9% to the Truckee River watershed.
The Truckee-Tahoe Airport is on CA 267 just south of the Truckee Town limits at Truckee-Tahoe Airport Road.
A couple hundred feet north of Truckee-Tahoe Airport Road CA 267 enters Nevada County and the town limits of Truckee.
CA 267 northbound traffic is directed towards I-80 in Truckee on the CHP Officer Glenn Carlson Memorial Bypass. The original alignment of CA 267 continued into downtown Truckee on Old Brockway Road and to I-80/CA 89 on Donner Pass Road.
CA 267 crosses the Truckee River and Union Pacific Railroad descending Donner Pass before terminating at I-80/CA 89.
CA 267 is a relatively new State Highway designation having been adopted in Legislative Chapter 1425 in 1965.

CA 267 first appears on the 1966 State Highway map as a complete State Route but unsigned.

According to historicaerials.com the alignment of CA 267 switched from Old Brockway Road/Donner Pass to the CHP Officer Glenn Carlson Memorial Bypass some time between 1994 and 2003.
The future alignment of CA 267 appears as a well maintained county route between Truckee over Brockway Summit to Lake Tahoe on the California Division of Highways maps of Nevada/Placer County in 1935.
