MP: <\/strong>192.91<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Riverside St and Main St, Winthrop<\/p>\n

SR 20 enters Winthrop and turns right with double signage. Winthrop is one of those “Old West” towns that was probably a ghost town at one point but now relies entirely on tourism<\/p>\n

MP: <\/strong>203.92<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: SR 20 and Ross Rd, Twisp<\/p>\n
