A crisp mountain wind moves down Front Street as the tour assembles in the Iconoclast Café at the LOGE Hotel — steaming coffee, the murmur of other visitors, and the jagged outline of the Cascades beyond town. For 90 minutes you walk cobbled sidewalks and pedestrian alleys while guides thread Leavenworth’s Bavarian reinvention into stories of logging, railroads, and the Icicle River that carved the valley.
