During early "Boom Times" Leavenworth was in fact called "Icicle" - an isolated little town whose supplies had to be carried over mountains by wagon and pack animals and whose river could only be crossed by boat or raft or forded during the late summer months.

The photo was taken in Spring 2010 to give you an idea of what to expect when you arrive at Icicle Station. There is no station building or phones. There is an information board, benches, a loading platform and a well-lit parking lot.

We would suggest you arrange for transportation to and from the station in advance. It is a walk-able distance of approx 2 miles however that would not be an easy walk with luggage or in the winter time.
