Hike the Icicle Gorge Loop, Icicle Creek by Leavenworth, WA, June 2023 - Easy

Hi everybody! This is a wonderful loop hike adjacent to Icicle Creek in the Wenatchee National Forest, near Leavenworth. When I visited the creek was pretty high and flowing quickly, making for a refreshing atmosphere. Nice bridges and some mountain views along the way.

Icicle Creek, Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.o...
Icicle Creek originates at Josephine Lake and flows to the Wenatchee River, where it joins at Leavenworth. The Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery is just outside Leavenworth.
The name comes from a Native American word, na-ski-let meaning narrow canyon. If you add an N to the beginning and T to the end of ‘Icicle’. … N icicle T… you have the original word.
