Winter is around the corner! That means ski resorts are open, holiday events are underway, and people are gearing up for a busy travel season. That's why Reader's Digest compiled a list of the best winter destination in every state. Writers included a diverse range of exciting destinations, from beach towns and popular cities to desert getaways and places that can only be described as winter wonderlands.
A small mountain community was named Washington State's best winter destination, and that's Methow Valley! Here's why it's appealing for travelers this season:
"Soggy Seattle is in the middle of its rainy season, but on the other side of the Cascade Mountains, the Methow Valley delights in a winter wonderland. Although visitors can find downhill and back-country skiing as well, the area boasts the largest Nordic ski trail system in the country, with 120 miles of groomed paths to explore. For an upscale version of camping, stay in the modern, glass-fronted Rolling Huts, or the simple comfort of the Rendezvous Huts. Visitors can also enjoy ice-skating, sledding, snowmobiling, fat biking, and snowshoeing. For a break from all the snow-filled activity, the town of Winthrop offers an Old West-style main drag of shops, restaurants, and a saloon."
