5.The Gorham Mountain Trail, Acadia National Park, Maine
Maine is about more than sunny summers of double-scoop ice cream cones and fresh lobster dinners. It might get chilly in the winter, but winter weather actually often empties such well-liked trails as the Gorham Mountain Trail. It’s the best time to see the splendor of the coast free of the crowds. This lovely loop trail is three and a half miles. Be sure to bring your cross-country skis or snowshoes though so you can stay on top of the fresh snow as you hike over the snow-covered granite in the spruce forest.
6.The Mazama Ridge Trail. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
There’s little chance of missing massive Mount Rainier. This huge, active volcano dominates the landscape. It actually reaches a height of 14,410 feet above sea level.
You can visit the area below Rainier all year. Still, veteran visitors say that being there when Mount Rainier’s peak is snow-capped will make the visit “extra special.” So dust off your snowshoes and take the well-known six-mile Mazama Ridge Trail. You’ll be rewarded with almost constant breath-taking views of the Tatoosh Range and Mount Rainier itself.
