Top 5 Best Winter Destinations In The USA!

Hello, the Traveling Chicken here, I create videos showing vacation ideas and amazing destination around the world. In today's video I am going to show you the top 5 best winter destinations in the USA. I hope you enjoy it. Let's get started. It is easy to have a love-hate relationship with winter. It is unpredictable, and cold. Yet the frigid temperatures provide the perfect backdrop for some epic winter vacations in the United States. From unforgettable skiing in Colorado to bobsledding at the Olympic Park in Utah. Or mushing through the Alaskan wilderness, winter offers up vacation opportunities unlike any other season. In this video, we are going to show you top winter vacations in the USA. Let's get started. Number 5. Kings Canyon National Park, California. If you're scratching your head for winter vacation ideas, look no further than the other national treasure that is Kings Canyon National Park. This park easily rivals Yosemite for natural splendor, but one entrance fee also gets you into the adjacent and equally majestic Sequoia National Park. Its spectacular scenery in the form of gigantic granite cliffs, deep glacier-carved valleys, the roaring Kings River, and dense forests of colossal sequoias to take your breath away. Hike or ride on horseback through Grant Grove. And view the General Grant, also known as the nation's Christmas tree, the world's second largest tree. Number 4. Key West, Florida. If you're scratching for a winter getaway in the U.S. that does not involve cold, snow, or rain, there is no better place than the country's southernmost point, Key West, Florida. This tiny island can even be reached by car from the mainland via the overseas highway that runs through the Florida Keys. The island's tropical climate, with winter temperatures varying between 64 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, makes Key West one of the best winter vacations in the U.S. Without a doubt, this island paradise has everything for anyone with a passion for sandy beaches and the ocean. Fort Zachary Taylor Park, Higgs Beach, and the offshore dry snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, sailing, and fishing, cruising aboard a glass-bottom boat, or just lazing in the sun. Is there a better way to escape the winter blues? Number 3. Vail, Colorado. If skiing is your game, then Vail just has to be a top contender for your next winter getaway. As a perfect day trip from Denver, this dainty little town boasts of being one of the most favorite skiing destinations in the world. Surrounded by 350,000 acres of pristine forests and over 5,000 acres of skiable slopes with breathtaking mountain scenery, Vail has everything to offer for that memorable family winter vacation. Nestled in the foothills of the Vail Mountain Range, this charming chocolate box picture town offers so much. Apart from incredible skiing, snowboarding, skating, and all the usual snow activities for all skill levels, there are also unlimited shopping, dining, and lodging options to suit all tastes and pockets. Number 2. Beaver Creek, Colorado. A stone's throw west of Vail lies the postcard picture mountain village of Beaver Creek. This is the home of the famous Beaver Creek Resort, which attracts hundreds of athletes and spectators every December for one of the world's premier ski events. With no less than 1,800 acres of terrain that range from gentle slopes to steep bumps to thrill skiers of all skills, this picturesque village offers much more than snow-related activities. The performing arts center and the numerous hiking trails on the edge of the village ensure there is something for everyone to enjoy. If all this is not enough for you, the unbelievable views of the Rocky Mountains from virtually every spot in Beaver Creek are something you will not forget for a while. Number 1. San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio, Texas, is not only one of the best places to visit in the state but also one of the state's most touristic cities. Its moderate southern climate and charming atmosphere make it a great destination for a winter getaway in the U.S. Located midway between oil city Houston and hip town Austin, San Antonio preserves a unique vacation vibe unlike the megacities just hours away. It also holds an interesting piece of history as it is the first chartered civil settlement in Texas and as such there are numerous things to do in the city. The Alamo, the Riverwalk, the five historic missions, and San Fernando Cathedral are just some of the attractions of this incredible place. As the city's temperature generally stays above 60 on the coldest of its days, a casual walk along the riverbank is an enticing way to spend an evening with family and friends.
