<\/p>\n
Once described by its namesake pioneer as \u201ca helluva place to lose a cow,\u201d Bryce Canyon is absolutely magic anytime you visit. But the famous \u201choodoo\u201d spires that rise from the ground like living red rock take on a whole new look when topped with snow. It’s easily one of the most otherworldly parks in the nation, plus nearby accommodations <\/a>are plentiful.<\/p>\nYellowstone, WY<\/strong><\/h1>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yellowstone.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
When Johnny Mathis first sang \u201cWinter Wonderland,\u201d he could have easily been talking about Yellowstone in winter. The valleys, lake, canyon, hot pools, and geysers are especially mesmerizing this time of year. Even better, the wildlife are extra active, and in winter the crowds are the lightest you\u2019ll find all year-round.

\n<\/strong><\/h1>\nIn summer, this is the hottest place on Earth and certifiably deadly during the day, at least without sufficient water and shade. In the winter, however, you can enjoy the surreal rocks, sprawling desert basins, and famous Titus Canyon without the extreme temperatures. Plus, you won’t have any problem finding a place close by to rest up<\/a>.<\/p>\nALSO:<\/strong> Orbitz Rewards treats you to Orbucks, good toward hotels\u2014it’s free to join!<\/a><\/p>\nDry Tortugas, FL<\/strong><\/h1>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Dry-Tortugas.jpeg\")

Only accessible by a two-hour boat from Key West<\/a>, Dry Tortugas is undeniably one of the most remote National Parks in the lower 48. Once here, however, you can enjoy its famous fort, beaches, and coral reefs in midwinter temperatures that can reach 80 degrees.

<\/p>\n
Although more well-known for its stunning cliffs in summer, Grand Canyon is just as good in winter, if not better when you factor the fewest crowds in an otherwise crowded National Park. And just in case you didn\u2019t know: Yes, it snows here, and it\u2019s an inviting icing whenever it does.

This park\u2019s most famous residents are alive anytime you visit, even if they never move. But the towering cacti appear even more spellbinding when dusted with snow. For the highest concentration of them, be sure to visit West Park, in addition to the East Park Visitor Center.
