What is the best time to visit Leavenworth?

Leavenworth is an all year round destination, however, many visitors find that the most picturesque and best time to visit Leavenworth is during the winter months especially in December when the town transforms into a magical winter wonderland with its Bavarian-themed holiday decorations, festive lights, and charming atmosphere. Winter activities such as skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and snowshoeing are popular in the nearby mountains, and visitors can also enjoy seasonal events such as the Christmas Lighting Festival.

Alternatively, the fall months, particularly September and October, are also a fantastic time to visit Leavenworth when the surrounding mountains and forests are ablaze with vibrant fall foliage. The weather during this time is typically mild, making it ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and wine tasting at the local vineyards.

Spring (March to May) and summer (June to August) are also great times to visit Leavenworth, especially for outdoor enthusiasts interested in activities such as hiking, river rafting, kayaking, and exploring the surrounding wilderness areas. The weather during these seasons is generally pleasant, with mild to warm temperatures and longer daylight hours.
