10 Biscayne National Park, Florida

Again, if you prefer the feel of summer but want to avoid the tourist crowds, this national park reportedly “feels like summer” all year. Located south of Miami, this park contains some of the country’s best beaches and clearest water. Even during the winter months, temperatures stay in the 80s.

If you’re going to stay overnight, try nearby Key Biscayne or Coral Gables. Mind you, if you own or rent a boat you can camp right in the park. Favorite outdoor activities here include kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming.

 

11 Death Valley National Park, California, And Nevada

Even in the winter, this national park is the driest, hottest place in the United States. During the winter months, the daytime temperatures are quite comfortable and you can explore the place free of crowds. It’s a great place to go hiking. Visit Dante’s View at sunrise and watch as the multi-colored sunlight reflects off the Sierra Nevada. You can also stop by the official lowest point on the entire North American continent at Badwater Basin. Check out Rhyolite, the ghost town to the north of the park too.
