After breakfast, we’ll head into the Enchantments to hike to the infamous Colchuck lake. This is a difficult hike that is 9 miles out-and-back with nearly 2,500 feet elevation gain. There is some boulder-scrambling (nothing too extreme), stair climbing, and amazing views along the entire trail. This is a hike you want to spend the summer getting in shape for! But when you get to the top, you’ll be rewarded with a glacier blue-green lake that is absolutely stunning. We’ll enjoy a mountain picnic lunch at the lake and then venture back down to the trailhead.
After relaxing a bit and cleaning up, we will ride the new 2700' Alpine Coaster at Leavenworth's Adventure Park! The ride is approximately 4 minutes long and provides beautiful views of the surrounding area. And the coaster has brakes so you can go as fast or slow as you'd like.
After our coaster ride, we will hit the streets of Leavenworth again this evening for more fabulous eats and drinks and enjoy the Octoberfest activities.
