Top 5 National Parks to visit in the Winter - Embrace the Winter! Ep. 7
Winter doesn’t have to be something you just get through. In this episode of Parks Made Possible, we’re embracing winter and sharing five national parks that are absolutely magical this time of year.
If you’ve ever felt that post-holiday winter itch to travel but weren’t sure where to go—or if winter trips even make sense—this episode is for you.
We’re walking through Voyageurs National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Crater Lake National Park, and Bryce Canyon National Park—all places where snow, silence, and solitude completely change the experience.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why winter is one of our favorite seasons to visit national parks
What it’s really like to visit parks when crowds disappear
Winter activities like snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and wildlife viewing
What access looks like when roads close and over-snow travel takes over
How cold weather can actually slow you down in the best possible way
Winter travel isn’t about checking boxes or packing your days full. It’s about experiencing these parks in a quieter, more intentional way—and honestly, some of our most memorable park experiences have been in winter.
One quick note: winter trips take a little more planning. Road closures, weather conditions, and seasonal access all matter. Our guidebooks are built mainly for peak and shoulder seasons, so if you’re thinking about a winter visit, custom trip planning is usually the best option.
