If you’ve spent any time in the Leavenworth area, you’ve probably heard of Icicle Gorge. This gentle loop trail navigates both banks of the Icicle River, allowing hikers to experience the magic of the Icicle Valley without making massive elevation gains. Come see why this fantastic nature trail is so popular.
Located about 18 miles outside of Leavenworth, it stays pretty packed during the warmer months, so plan an early morning hike or prepare to share the trail with others.
The trail is open as long as it's accessible, but it's most popular between May and early October.
