Best Places to View Leavenworth Sunsets
Lake Wenatchee State Park
One of the best ways to get a great view of the sky during Leavenworth sunsets is by visiting Lake Wenatchee State Park! The wide-open area with no trees and the sky being reflected on the lake’s water create an undeniably great sunset-view experience. Plus, you can make a whole day out of visiting the park! Lake Wenatchee State Park offers some great trails, water sports, and winter sports for you to enjoy throughout the day before sunset!
Rockpile Trail
If you’re interested in a bit more of an adventure, then you can head up to Rockpile Trail! This “out & back” hiking trail is just 1.1 miles long, with 482 feet in elevation, but the end offers a bird’s eye view of the North Cascades that are just impeccable for watching the sunset! Make sure you are fully prepared for the hike though; bring plenty of water to drink, and most importantly, a flashlight as the hike back will be darker!
Restaurants in Downtown Leavenworth
Maybe you’re less of an outdoorsy person, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get to enjoy the beautiful Leavenworth sunsets too! There are many restaurants in downtown Leavenworth that have patios, porches, or other outdoor seating where you can watch the sunset over a nice meal or some drinks! Three of the best restaurants with outdoor seating are Visconti’s, Icicle Brewing Company, and Gustav’s.
