5. Everglades National Park, Florida
From December to April, you can visit the Everglades Natural Park and enjoy the dry season. This means no annoying summer insects, a pleasant temperature of 70 degrees on average, and low humidity. Plus, because the water levels seem to drop during these months, it is easier to discover the park’s wildlife. You can camp out there or enjoy an overnight stay at Everglades City right next to this beautiful natural park.
6. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
If you’re looking for a true winter escapade, the Mount Rainier National Park is like a dream come true. Enjoy all sorts of snowy activities like tubing or sledding, and hike around the snow-covered trails while enjoying a magical winter view. You can stay at the National Park Inn, the only hotel located inside the park, opened all year round.
7. Yosemite National Park, California
California can offer you much more than a summer vacation, and the Yosemite National Park is the proof. Here you can enjoy the oldest Snowboard Area in all of California, with ten different runs and over 90 miles of safe trails for you to explore. If you are in the mood for a great adventure, you can ski across a 10.5-mile trail that will get you to Glacier Point, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls, and the Half Dome.
8. Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
If you want to avoid the crowds in the Grand Canyon every year, try to go there during the winter. The North Rim is closed in this period, but you can still see the South Rim and explore the park’s natural wonders at your rhythm. Plus, the well-known El Tovar Hotel is far less expensive during the cold months, so you might get yourself a sweet deal if you are lucky!
9. Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
Visiting the Bryce Canyon National Park is like getting inside the most magnificent postcard. The whole setting is covered by these magical snow blankets, set against an infinite blue sky. At night, the sky lights up with more than 7,500 visible stars, which is three times as much as what you can typically observe in a normal rural area.
