Wyoming has a wide variety of winter activities you could do, and together with local hospitality and great accommodations, these are the main reasons to go. Yellowstone Park, some of the nation’s best resorts for skiers and snowboarders, ice routes to climb for the brave of us and plenty of trails to explore on a snowmobile make this state a perfect place to visit during the holidays.

Montana is another state with some of the most magnificent skiing resorts in America. It snows very heavily here, so you are going to feel you’re in a winter wonderland. The holidays are one of the best times to visit Big Sky Country with its endless miles of terrain and its peaceful national parks. There are also many delightful restaurants to warm up in before going down the slopes.

Vermont is the best state for a cross-country skiing getaway. Killington, Stowe, and Burlington are some of the most popular destinations, but there are hundreds of trails throughout the state you can explore.

California is beautiful all year round. There is so much to do, and winter is perfect for exploring places that get too hot in the summer. Plenty of seasonal events take place, too, so the holiday spirit won’t leave you for a second. The huge benefit of going this time of the year is the fact you can enjoy the most famous sights without the huge crowds, although that’s except for the Christmas holidays.

Hawaii might be one of the most spectacular places in the whole world. When most of the country is freezing, these warm and sunny islands are an especially great destination. Scenic landscapes, beautiful beaches, delicious food and amazing resorts surely make this state worth the trip, don’t they? In the winter months, you could also watch whales migrate to Hawaii, which makes for a breathtaking experience.
