- Things to Do
Stroll around the town, water fun (summer), enjoy autumn leaves (fall), snow fun (winter), etc.
- Tips
1) The roads on highway 2 are narrow and winding so use caution – the area has lots of snow in winter so be sure to check the Stevens Pass road conditions on the WA State DOT website and be prepared (snow tires, chains, etc.)
2) In winter, visiting Stevens Pass and Leavenworth in one trip is also a good option as the winter season at Leavenworth is lovely.
3) If your family is not used to spending long hours in the car, make it an overnight trip.
4) Dropping by on the way to Lake Chelan can also be a good option.
5) Nice town to visit year long, but the town is also known for beautiful autumn colors as well as the Oktoberfest.
