Grab your tube from downtown Leavenworth and be transported in a windowless van to the starting point of your 4 mile river ride! Make sure to sign up in advance or you may have to wait a while before starting. Even in cold water, on a hot day it is totally worth it! I recommend packing some drinks and snacks and don’t forgot sunscreen! It took us about 2 hours to make it 4 miles. #tubing
