Join us on a journey to the famous Bavarian town of Leavenworth, tucked among the Cascade Mountains and blanketed in the winter spirit with thousands of holiday lights, eternal Christmas Stores, snow frosted trees, and more! It's something that you just have to experience for yourself. This full day tour begins in Seattle and travels east through Snoqualmie Pass where you will stop to enjoy warm drinks and a hike or snowshoe walk along a level forested trail. The total walk will be 1-2.5 miles depending on the day. As you continue, notice how the landscape changes from west to east side of the Cascade Mountains. Washington is often thought of as the rainy state, but you'll soon notice the air seems drier! Most of the east side receives between 5-25 in. of precipitation annually (making for a great winter escape!) In Leavenworth, you have time in town on your own. Experience authentic Bavarian foods, shop around the artisan stores, or wander through the festive streets of downtown.
Hotel pickups take place in downtown Seattle between 7:30a -8:00am
