From Alaska to New Mexico, here are some of the best national parks for a winter wonderland getaway.

Acadia National Park, Maine

Between early October and early March, Acadia National Park’s Cadillac Mountain, the tallest mountain on the eastern seaboard, offers hardy hikers impressive views of the first sunrise in the country. Because the roads are closed to motor vehicles (机动车) during the winter, those who go on the 3.5-mile hike from Park Loo p Road can treat themselves with an attractive view.

Denali National Park, Alaska

Denali National Park is a peaceful land in cold months. The season between September and April is the best time to photograph the northern lights. Winter visitors to the park can explore its icy landscapes by snowshoeing, skiing, and dogsledding (狗拉雪橇). While the National Park Service’s sled dogs don’t give visitors rides, travelers can book a tour with Denali Dog Sled Expeditions, which runs trips in the park.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State

The park is one of the oldest national parks in the US and a fresh playground for visitors in winter. There are areas where you could go snowmobiling, and the upper parking lot of the Paradise visitor center turns into a snow play area, which is great for families.

Chaco Culture National Historical Park, New Mexico

In northern New Mexico, Chaco Culture National Historical Park holds stone houses made by the Ancestral Puebloan from 1250 to 850 BC. These were the largest buildings in all of North America up until the mid-18th century. There are self-guided tour maps that visitors can pick up at the Chaco Canyon visitor center.
