Leavenworth is a Bavarian village in Northern Washington, set against the
Cascade Mountains, where accommodations range from bed & breakfasts to cabin
rentals to luxury hotels. Leavenworth has shopping, music, theater, arts, and
seasonal festivals, but the gorgeous mountains draw both locals and visitors to
Leavenworth out to enjoy the beauty and excitement of nature. In the winter, the
fluffy white snow allows for downhill and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing,
snowmobiling, sledding, dog sledding, and sleigh rides.
In the summer, the large Leavenworth Municipal Pool is a popular place to
cool down. A slightly wilder option is tubing, rafting, canoeing, or kayaking on
the local Wenatchee and Icicle rivers. The mountains near Leavenworth provide
opportunities for rock climbing, mountain biking, and hiking. Horseback riding
and wagon rides are also popular in Leavenworth. Learn about pioneer life at the
Cashmere Pioneer Village or see over 5,000 nutcrackers at the Nutcracker Museum.
The Icicle Junction Family Fun Park is the place for families to be in
Leavenworth, with miniature golf, bumper boats, arcade, pool tables, a movie
theater, and more. Several golf courses in the Leavenworth area offer beautiful
mountain views along with country club amenities.
