If you are planning a trip to the Pacific Northwest, Colchuck Lake and Leavenworth is arguably one of the most beautiful and Best Kept Secrets in Washington! With farmers markets, breweries, mountains, lakes, waterfalls, gorgeous views, and a Bavarian-style village, it is definitely a must see! My daughter and I felt that we needed to give Colchuck Lake and Leavenworth a blog of its own since it was our favorite hike on our Pacific Northwest road trip adventure.
