Leavenworth wrap-up


Icicle Gorge Trail was the Feet & Forks' destination on Day 3 of our Leavenworth trip. Two rangers recommended it when I asked them for a four- to five-mile trail with not much elevation. They said it was a beautiful hike through the woods along Icicle Creek.


It WAS beautiful, but it was also swarming with mosquitoes. That's Nancy above doing the mosquito slap dance. After about a mile, Kandi said she couldn't go any farther because she was being bitten so much, so we turned back. 


Here are some more photos
from the Icicle Gorge Trail.






Then it was off to play 18 holes of putt putt golf. I've never golfed in my life, but my score was right in with the rest of them! It was blazing hot and we were drenched.


This goat lives on the course, munching on the lush hillside greenery.


Next up was a walk through town, with lunch at a pizza place and then back to the condo until an evening walk on the Wenatchee River Trail. We caught some soft sunset colors before returning to the condo for a rousing game of Catch Phrase and then bed.


On the next, and last, morning we had giant raspberry scones with raspberry butter on the patio. Oh my, were they good! We bought them the day before at the Gingerbread Factory and I wish I had another one right now.


Then it was another stroll on the Wenatchee trail before packing the car and heading for home at 10:30 a.m. Wish we could have stayed longer. Traffic was much better on the way back and we made it in three hours.



Here's our fork shot to commemorate the trip.


Have a colorful day

Sounds like a lovely trip, all but the mosquitoes. Great pix, as usual!

Sounds like a great trip except for the mosquitoes.
