Leavenworth Nordic Trail System

The setting, at the foot of the cascade mountains rising 7,000 ft above, spectacular views in every direction. Wedge Mountain and Icicle Ridge shoulder up against you while you chase the Icicle River and then the Wenatchee River down to the town of Leavenworth.

The 27 km of trails, that are the Leavenworth Nordic Trail System, offer the skier a variety of terrain, scenery and difficulty. Three of the trails run along mountain streams and all offer great views of the Cascade Mountains. The eastern slopes of the Cascades offer great snow conditions. Bright, crisp sunny skies and dry powder snow await skier who ventures east.
