Now THIS is my kind of winter getaway

A little snow makes everything better

Who's ready for this week's virtual vacation? Same! ✨   Winter can be a dreary time, full of long nights, cold weather, and spending more time on the couch than outside. But winter can be the best time to see nature — if you just know where to look for it.   National parks don't need any extras to be stunning, but a blanket of freshly fallen snow does give them a "WOW" factor that would take your breath away.

Plus, it usually means less tourists which is more important now than ever.    So are you ready to brave the cold?
