Route description
editPR 260 begins in the Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone at a junction with PTH 16 (Yellowhead Highway), directly in between Keyes and the town of Gladstone. Almost immediately crossing a railroad, it heads due north through rural farmland for several kilometres to cross a railroad at Ogilvie before travelling along the eastern side of Plumas, where it shares a short concurrency with PR 265. Entering the Municipality of Glenella-Lansdowne, the highway continues north to have an intersection with its spur route to Tenby, PR 575, before travelling through Waldersee and crossing a creek. PR 260 comes to an end shortly thereafter at an intersection with PR 261. The entire length of Provincial Road 260 is a paved, two-lane highway.[1][2]
