If you are new to Washington State, Leavenworth, Washington is a hidden gem in the Cascade Mountains. It's like being in a Swiss Village with its charming Bavarian-style architecture.

The town is filled with quirky shops, delicious restaurants, and festive events that will leave you in awe. The town turns into a winter wonderland complete with a reindeer farm and stunning holiday lights during the winter months.

So you'd think Leavenworth would rank higher on a nationwide survey of popular winter wonderland destinations.

According to architecturaldigest.com, Leavenworth ranks #36 out of the top 100 winter destinations in their survey. I was going to be a little upset with the ranking until I noticed the competition and you see Aspen and Vail Colorado as the top places to escape to in the winter.

I'll concede the victory...for now but 36th out of 100 is a great compliment to our little Leavenworth town and it should be one of those destinations added to your road trip itinerary for this holiday season.
