We visited the Leavenworth area for 3 days of cross-country skiing during the day and exploring the touristy faux Bavarian town during the evenings. Our skiing took us through Lake Wenatchee State Park, volunteer-run Icicle River Trail in Leavenworth, and south to Camas Land and Tiptop Mountain. We stayed at the pleasant Tumwater B&B in their spacious Edelweiss Suite and had some very entertaining conversations with other guests and the hostess each morning over a huge breakfast that started us off well each day. The town offered different restaurant experiences, “stuff” shops, and even the elusive Bavarian pretzel.
