State Route 166, also known as SR 166, was a state highway in the north-central part of Arizona, starting at a junction with U.S. Route 66 and ended at the Walnut Canyon National Monument. It first appeared on a state map in 1957 and was decommissioned in 1971 when the route through the national monument was taken over by the Forest Service. It also appeared in older state maps on a route from Winslow to Second Mesa. Also known as the Winslow-Toreva Highway, the route became a part of State Route 87. There is a historical marker about this highway north of Winslow.

“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,

no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
