National parks are the perfect destinations if you're craving immersive nature trips or outdoor adventures. While wintertime sees fewer crowds, that can be a great opportunity to make the most out of your visit. Tranquil trails, scenic views, and engaging activities are among the many things you do. If the national park is in a warmer climate, you can still do some activities available during the summer, as well.
For those planning on visiting a national park during the colder months, Trips to Discover found the best ones to check out in winter. Out of the 14 amazing entries on the list, a famous national park in Florida made an appearance in the roundup.
Rocky Mountain National Park remains a favorite amongst visitors thanks to the gorgeous mountain views and exciting terrain to traverse. Things switch up during the winter when snow-covered trails and icy landscapes make up the scenery. Here's what you can expect, according to writers:
"Rocky Mountain National Park is the place to go if you want to enjoy a snowy wonderland in a peaceful setting where only the sounds of your feet shuffling through the fluffy powder can be heard. You’ll enjoy scenery that includes the snow on the dramatic, towering peaks and white-blanketed forests with the hiking trails transformed into idyllic trails for snowshoeing, including Cub Lake and the Pool Loop, which can be combined for a six-mile round-trip journey passing frozen waterfalls along the way. If you don’t have your own snowshoes, you might join a ranger-led group tour, which includes them, or rent a pair in Estes Park."
