16 National Parks to Visit in the Winter Instead of the Summer
By Hristina Byrnes
Just as public parks in major cities get crowded once the snow melts, national parks get busy during the summer. But consider the possibility of enjoying nature when it’s a lot less packed and just as beautiful in the winter.
You may even find it refreshing to trade your hiking boots for new skis or snowshoes. The colder weather and the snow make going to a national park a completely different experience. The busy trails are now calm (romantic) retreats, and the white, fine fluff covering the landscape shows you another side of nature’s splendor.
Whatever your reasoning may be, these beautiful places should absolutely not be overlooked just because it’s winter.
