This side of the mountains has so much to offer. Of course, there is tons of whitewater and more than 300 days of sunshine, but we have recently been discovering some of the other awesome things to do in the Leavenworth/Wenatchee area.
A couple of weeks ago, Jaime, Nicholas, and I decided to get a quick hike in before going paddling and headed up to Ingalls Creek. Ingalls is a great trail just outside of town that can be made as long or short as you like depending on when you turn around. It’s easy access and doable in a pair of Chacos. During the early Summer, the wildflowers are out of this world, with indian paintbrushes lining the trail. The hike overlooked a pretty steep looking Class IV section of whitewater that some other members of the Wildwater gang had paddled just a couple of days earlier. Jaime and I stopped and tried to imagine the lines our friends took.
If you’re looking for something to do before or after you hit the river, be sure to check out this awesome little hike. From Leavenworth, just get on US-97 southbound for about 7 miles until you see Ingalls Creek Road on the right. It’s just past the Blu-Shastin RV Park.
