Where are some family-friendly winter destinations for people who don't want to ski?
There are so many wonderful places to enjoy snow, especially if you don't want to ski. Here are a few ideas!
Yellowstone National Park Lodges has several winter season packages -- and visitors can enjoy better wildlife viewing, as well as get a chance to go snowmobiling, see the unique properties of the thermal features in cold air, and more. For more information, call (307) 344-7311, or visit the Web site at www.TravelYellowstone.com.
The Lake Tahoe area has several snow parks for sledding activities adjacent to ski areas. There are also places to ice skate, take a sleigh ride, or even a dog sled ride in Tahoe. You might even want to try cross-country skiing on the many trails in the area. For more information on Lake Tahoe, visit the Web site www.laketahoe.com.
Many other ski areas also offer special snow parks, sleigh rides, and other winter fun -- check out the specific destination Web sites. State and forest preserve parks in some winter destinations offer alpine slides and toboggan runs. A few offer snowmobiling trails.
In the Rand McNally Deluxe Road Atlas and Trip Planner, you can find this information, or just go to randmcnally.com (click on Road Trip Guide, then Explore America, and click on a state for more details). For instance, if you select New Hampshire, you'll find that Saint Gaudens National Historic Site offers great trails for snowshoeing. All the state and national parks are listed in this site. Enjoy your fun and frolic in the snow this winter!
