Leavenworth, Snowqualmie Falls, & Trains
An early morning walk through Leavenworth led to coffee shops, quiet streets, and unexpected conversations before continuing west to Snoqualmie Falls and the Northwest Railway Museum. Between roaring waterfalls, nurse trees, hydroelectric history, and rusting steam locomotives slowly being reclaimed by the forest, this became one of the most visually interesting days I’ve had in Washington.
Leavenworth, WA
What started as a stop in Wenatchee became an unplanned evening in Leavenworth, Washington. After a challenging 12-mile ride along the Columbia River and lingering breathing issues from COVID, I drove into Leavenworth at dusk and spent hours walking the Bavarian-style village with my camera, photographing warm lights, quiet streets, glowing storefronts, and mountain town atmosphere.
