Leavenworth Sleigh Rides at Beaver Creek Lodge was an absolute must-do during my trip and made even…read moremore special because it was my very first experience in the snow. Being from Hawaii, this was both exciting and exhilarating to say the least. The lodge is about a 30-minute drive from where we were staying at the Obertal Inn. We purchased our tickets online ahead of time, which I highly recommend since rides can sell out. Upon arrival, everything was well organized with clear signage directing us where to go. Check-in was conveniently located in the same area as the gift shop and coffee stand. Since we didn't want to hold anything during the ride, we waited to shop until afterward. After checking in, we were instructed to meet our guide out front near the fire pit. Once she arrived (I wish I remembered her name!), she walked us over to our carriage. It ended up being our lucky day because we had the carriage entirely to ourselves, which made the experience feel even more magical and intimate. Throughout the ride, our guide shared background history of the area and pointed out wildlife we might spot along the way. Sitting bundled up in the cold, surrounded by peaceful winter scenery, was such a serene and unforgettable experience. Before heading back, we stopped for hot apple cider which was absolutely delicious and exactly what we needed in the freezing temperatures. We also had the chance to take photos with the horse, who was incredibly sweet and even let us pet him. Overall, this experience exceeded all expectations. If you ever find yourself in Leavenworth, I would 100% say this is a must-do. It's a beautiful, memorable way to take in the winter magic of the area.

She gave great instructions for those of us new to e bikes and was patient and clear about how we could maximize safety and fun during the day! The ride was totally awesome, mostly on quiet lake side roads and the most fun on trails. She tailored the ride to our level and we had a great time going fast through back trails on our well-maintained bikes. It was like a fun combo of road biking, gravel riding and mountain biking with the option of kicking on the throttle to move up hills. It was freeing and beautiful - we'd love to come again during another season! And bonus - she knows all the best photo sites for the tour!

The place is huge, although outside of a few groups of children and guides on tours, there weren't a lot of people around. We found our way to the trail past the hatchery tanks and followed most of the winding paths. As far as wildlife today, we were only able to spot one lizard, some butterflies and birds. The trail itself was fairly uneventful. The mountain views were stunning, but there wasn't a lot more to see today. As we wandered back to the parking lot we took a peek at a few different sections of tanks, most of which were empty, but we were able to see fish in a couple. I was definitely very happy to see a sweet little pollinator garden near the entrance.
