Bavarian village meets Cascades adventure
Bavarian-themed Cascade mountain town that takes the bit seriously — Munchen Haus for the brats, Icicle Brewing for the lager, and Andreas Keller for the full lederhosen dinner. Icicle Creek for the swimming hole, the Enchantments trailhead for the ambitious day hike, Leavenworth Adventure Park for the rafting outfitter. Two and a half hours from Sea-Tac, lodge-rental territory, snow in winter.
