Leavenworth ( no Penitentiary here)

A beautiful ride through the Cascades.
3600 foot vertical climb.  The most challenging day for vertical climb of the entire trip.
Leavenworth is modeled after a Bavarian Village.
I didn't see any actual bavarians here, it appears to be all done as a tourist attraction.
A mountain stream on Old Cascade Hwy.
Still a fair amount of snow approaching Stevens Pass
4061 ft. Stevens Pass - The day's high point.

Downtown Leavenworth -  Fake Bavarian Village

  1. Leavenworth,a town shunned on Pesach. Not sure if they have matzoh or bagels. Pretty sure they don't know Nova or whitefish. Chicken liver was a code word for Howard Cosell. When you say, "schmoltz" they say "Gesundheit".
