Leavenworth Things to Do, Winter

Instead of fighting the winter weather of the Cascades we embrace it and all the fun, beautiful and challenging sports and activities it brings! Let the snow and ice warm your heart as you take the family out for a Christmas sleigh ride or snowshoeing deep into the forest. Let it snow!
