Embark on a scenic journey with Shifting Gears as we explore the natural beauty of Lake Valhalla on July 21st. Nestled near Leavenworth, Washington, this 6.3-mile out-and-back trail offers breathtaking views, lush wildflower meadows, and the tranquil Lake Valhalla itself, all while empowering each other in the great outdoors.

Along the way, we'll traverse beautiful forests, enjoy the serene environment, and take plenty of snacks and water breaks. At Lake Valhalla, we'll take a break for a peaceful lunch by the sandy beach, where you might spot small cutthroat trout jumping along the shore.
