Route Description
State Route 260 (SR 260) begins at an intersection with SR 17 west of Connell in rural Franklin County. The highway travels east and turns southeast into Connell, traveling over a rail line owned by BNSF Railway and used on the Amtrak Empire Builder route between Pasco and Spokane. After intersecting U.S. Route 395 (US 395) in the busiest section of the entire route, a diamond interchange that received a daily average of 2,800 vehicles in 2011, the roadway continues east through the Washtucna Coulee and passes south of Sulphur Lake before entering Kahlotus. As SR 260 passes through Kahlotus, it forms the southern terminus of SR 21, going north towards Lind, and the northern terminus of SR 263, serving the Lower Monumental Dam. The road exits the city travelling east to Lake Kahlotus and Washtucna Lake, paralleling the Columbia Plateau Trail northeast to the beginning of a concurrency with SR 261. The two highways enter the Adams County city of Washtucna and become Main Street before an intersection with SR 26, where SR 260 ends and SR 261 continues to Ritzville.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
