Leavenworth
Leavenworth is a cute Bavarian town with mountain views included! It's about 30 minutes from Wenatchee and has several restaurants, shops, bars and activities for kids. We'd recommend giving Larch Handcrafted Pasta a try (some of the best ravioli we've ever had)!

We went here our first time staying in the Wenatchee/Chelan area. The view is gorgeous! It is rated as moderately challenging on all trails, and is a bit steep in some areas (you'd want good shoes).

Rated as easy on AllTrails, there is a kid friendly loop trail for exploring the park.
