Hikes and Rock Climbing Are The Best In The State
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You
will find over 2,500 miles of recreation trails available for
hiking, horse use, trail biking, and mountain biking. The
wildflowers are in full bloom and the scenery is spectacular.
Choose from one of many incredible hikes.
The Leavenworth area is the most popular rock climbing
destination in the state of Washington. Why? The combination of
clean, high quality granite, an abundance of cracks, a complete
selection of route difficulty, from 20 feet to 800 feet, the dry
east of the crest weather, and the nice Bavarian town right near
the crags are often given as reasons. Leavenworth is a Mecca for
outdoor lovers with excellent kayaking, biking, hiking, rock
climbing, and mountaineering.
