6. Yosemite National Park, California
Another one of the United State’s most popular national parks, Yosemite is even more inspiring in the midst of winter. While some roads are closed to traffic from Mid-November until May, avoiding the crowds and the view of a snow-framed 2,425-foot Yosemite Falls alone is worth the price and use of the tire chains required to travel there. The El Capitan also includes the Half Dome, giant sequoias, glaciers, and the 2,140-foot Snow Creek Falls as well. It is truly a natural winter wonderland.

The best time to visit this park is actually from the month of December through February. This park is in reality a number of natural amphitheaters. They are located approximately one mile up and are only referred to as a “canyon” for advertising purposes.
