Outdoor Experiences

Community Programs

Experience the wonders of the outdoors with us!

Join the Wenatchee River Institute for an outdoor adventure with one of our knowledgeable naturalists. Outdoor Experiences range from birding, to nature walks, paddling down the Wenatchee River, snowshoeing, and more! Every season has something to offer. Some experiences are one-time events, others occur monthly or weekly.

On these experiences, you will explore the outdoors, learn about the natural and cultural history specific to Leavenworth, and enjoy scenic views along the way. Topics might include local plants and animals, geology, and the p'squosa (Wenatchi) people. 

Difficulty level: Check each trip for specifics, but most are beginner level.

Accessibility: While some ADA accommodations can be made, few trips are fully accessible due to the nature of local trails. Please call or email us if you have specific questions or concerns.

For more information on scheduling, registration, and topics discussed, check the events below.
