Things To Do

The Alps Fudge/Candy

We stop here every time we visit Leavenworth. They have some amazing hot sauces (which you can sample), and plenty of fudge and other candy. It may or may not be on your drive from Seattle to Leavenworth (depending on the route you take).

Bridal Veil Falls Hike

Hike on the trail of one of our first dates! We went all the way to Lake of the Clouds. It's a solid drive to get here from Leavenworth, but one of the best hikes we've ever done. It's on the way to Leavenworth from Seattle - you could stop on the way!

Icicle Brewing Company

Great brewing company to get some beers and food at and enjoy Leavenworth! Explore the surrounding blocks on Front Street for other restaurants, bars, coffee shops, retail stores, etc.!

Squirrel Tree Resort

Want to eat some great local grub? Come visit another one of Courtney & Nick's first date sites - we got dinner here during one of our first trips together in Leavenworth! Right on the way to Lake Wenatchee State Park.

Lake Wenatchee State Park

There's rental boats, a beautiful beach and a lovely lake to hang out in! This is also the location of drinks at the lake post rehearsal dinner! Definitely go to the South entrance - the North entrance doesn't have lake access.

Dirty Face Mountain Hike

Try re-creating one of our previous hikes on Dirty Face! Note - this is really hard. Try to guess who made it to the top first (:

Eightmile Lake Hike

You have to go all the way to the lake if you do this hike! This runs through part of the Enchantments trail, one of the best backpacking trails in the country. Note - the road to get to this trailhead is pretty tough.

Argo Bar

This is our favorite place to grab a quick to-go breakfast. The breakfast burritos and avocado toast are amazing, and they make great coffee.

Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum

Aspen Leaf Day Spa

The day spa at Sleeping Lady offers various massage and relaxation packages, a great way to relax!

Bavarian E-Bike Tours

We haven't done this before, but this looks like a really fun way to explore the Leavenworth area!

Rocky Reach Dam

Come learn about the Colombia River dam system, and see one of the first places Courtney explored in East Washington, back when she thought she was going to be a fish veterinarian!

Seattle Area

Interested in hiking? The Cascades will be much easier for beginners/those new to west coast mountains vs. Olympics; ratings are based on difficulty for new hikers; seasoned hikers will probably be able to tackle any hike! - Mt. Pilchuck – Hard; amazing lunch spot at top - Mailbox Peak – Hard; A portion of the trail (that’s optional) is used to help people train for Mt. Rainier! - Poo Poo Point – Medium to hard; parasailing at the top!! - Big & Little Si – Easy to medium; Little Si is a titch easier! - Rattlesnake Ledge – Medium; one of our first dates! - Wallace Falls State Park – Easy hiking and still awesome sites - Discovery Park – Easy hiking and cool view of the bay! - Myrtle Falls – Has a parking lot, pretty much just walk over to falls; awesome stop - Kayak Rentals (Seattle): Green Lake and Agua Verde Paddle Club Parks: Volunteer, Washington Arboretum, Green Lake, Gas Works, Lincoln, Discovery, Leschi, Ballard Locks Text Courtney or Nick for more ideas!
