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.
