Leavenworth - Day Trip

Having taken a break from hiking, we wanted to try some day trips nearby. Its a perfect season for day trips. Fall foliage and lightly chill weather makes it the best time to see some places around. Leavenworth was the destination this week. Even though the plan was to drive up to Stephens pass and turn back, the miles board for Leavenworth was intriguing and there we were already steering our wheels to go see Leavenworth. People around Seattle area would definitely have heard about this small German town with Bavarian style buildings and lash mountains around. Fortunately it was the last day of October Fest. People dressed up in colorful and funny costumes and stores filled with visitors made the place more vibrant.

Although this place will not make it to the top of "my favorite places to go" list I would recommend this place for a day trip from Seattle, specially during fall and winter. Make sure the roads are open and there is no snow storm in the forecast.
