These Oregon Spots Are Among The Best Winter Holiday Destinations

There are some areas of the United States that never get snow. Luckily, you can travel to other states to experience the white stuff or take part in winter activities. For places that get snow regularly, it's something locals look forward to eagerly. Whether it's hitting the slopes or making snowmen, it's always a sign that winter is here.

A recent study broke down the best winter holiday destinations for those who love the sun, and those who enjoy the snow. WalletHub, which published the study, looked at weather predictions, flight data, available attractions, activities, affordability, and other indicators to determine their rankings.

Only one Oregon area made it on the list: The Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro area!

Researchers even gave the area kudos for having plenty of attractions for both tourists and locals. That's not including the many activities and eateries you can also check out, as well.

1. Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta, Georgia
