National Park Service

Top Parks to Visit This Winter.

We’re reveling the colder seasons by getting outdoors! Come explore these beautiful national parks, as we travel through snowcapped mountains, down to swamplands and gator-infested waters. America’s parks have it all, and the National Park Service is celebrating its centennial this year.

SEE WHY THOUSANDS OF ACRES have remained protected for your enjoyment, as well as the well-being of the creatures that live in them. From Bryce Canyon spires and hoodoos, to volcanic formations in Crater Lake, winter has never looked so good. Pack a tent, you’ll want to camp out in these slices of natural heaven. Thank you, NPS!

Bryce Canyon National Park

If you’re searching for a true – and truly untouched – winter wonderland, then you have to make your way to the Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. Bryce Canyon was made a national park in 1928, and there are more than 30,000 acres to explore within its boundaries.

Bryce Canyon is in a relatively remote location, but is perfect for winter, because of the Bryce Canyon Winter Festival, an annual event held every year in February. The festival comes complete with all kinds of outdoor activities, including ski tours, guided trips, snowshoeing, yoga, hiking day trips, photography walks, and kid-friendly activities, like arts and crafts. Snowmobiling is just about the only activity not allowed on park grounds, but there are nearby rental facilities that will take you on guided snowmobiling tours near the park, so that you can stay in close proximity to its natural beauty. Check out Ruby’s Inn for more information on trips, activities, and accommodations.
