Leavenworth is the second most visited tourist destination in Washington, only Seattle pulls more visitors.

Nestled in the eastern foothills of the North Cascades, Leavenworth has created itself as a Bavarian Village.

For myself the draw of Leavenworth last weekend was fall colors.

The east side of the Cascades has generally bluer skies and wonderful trees and autumn explosion of bright color.

Here are images from the trip!
