The Cascade Loop is a popular driving tour through northwestern Washington State, revealing several unique stops and a diversity of environments along the way. The town of Methow offers both cross-country and downhill skiing, along with accommodations, restaurants and other services, making it an ideal home base while exploring the area's recreational opportunities. Leavenworth is also found in the Cascade Loop, and is another town known for its hospitality and mountain activities. Modeled to resemble a Bavarian village, Leavenworth is home to a large annual Oktoberfest that features live entertainment, German food and arts and crafts. Further along the loop is Wenatchee, famous for its many apple orchards, but also for the 300 days of sunshine it receives per year. Whether there for a day or a week, the Cascade Loop keeps visitors occupied and in awe of the variety of natural beauty of Washington State.
