Icicle Gorge in Leavenworth, WA offers a gentle loop trail along the Icicle River, providing a magical experience of the Icicle Valley with minimal elevation changes. Hikers can enjoy the contrasting landscapes of a dry, sparsely vegetated side and a canopied forest side, connected by a bridge over the roaring waters.
Legend has it that the native name for Icicle Creek was Nasikelt, which early pioneers misinterpreted as "Icicle," leading to the name's establishment on USGS maps in the early 1900s. With a round trip distance of 3.5 miles and an easy difficulty level, this trail requires a USFS Northwest Trail Pass for access.
