hwy 2 to hwy 174... toward Bridgeport,Wa. you don't have to go into town... but if you do need a campground there is a very clean and nice small one on the river... by 7th and Jefferson ave. (the town is not very big so you can sure find it.) Bridgeport has a gas station but not a grocery store.
then take hwy 17 around the north side of the Columbia river... connect to hwy 97 then go west toward Brewster, WA. (Brewster has a grocery store and a small hospital)
Then continue west on hwy 97 to Pateros... and take hwy 153 up (and it will be a gradual up... no passes) to Twisp. (Actually hwy 153 does not go all the way to Twisp. It runs into Hwy 20 and you take hwy 20 west to Twisp.)
The drive from Pateros to Twisp is curvy, scenic and follows the Methow river.
Twisp has a grocery store... HANKS... that is known for it's home smoked bacon, salmon and jerky. Groceries are pricey in the Methow Valley. Buy your coffee somewhere before you get there! Gas prices are usually higher there, too. So fill up in Bridgeport or Brewster!
