🌅 West Lake View Point – Stunning marsh views.
🌲 Pinelands Trail – Peaceful walk through pine rocklands.

❄️ The holiday season is over but winter is still here and there are so many beautiful National Parks where you can enjoy the snow!

Here are a few of our favs:

🌄 Bryce Canyon: Snow-covered hoodoos + open trails = perfect for hiking, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing!

🏞️ Arches: Love a challenge? These scenic trails are even more stunning (and fun!) covered in snow.

🦬 Yellowstone: The Northern Range stays open for epic wildlife spotting—think bison, elk, moose, and wolves!

🏔️ Grand Teton: Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ranger-led hikes beneath the Tetons? Yes, please!

⛷️ Rocky Mountain: Ski, snowshoe, sled, or enjoy Winterfest fun with ice sculptures, chili cook-offs, and more!
