Yellowstone in Winter-A Hot Short Guide
For many, good weather for outdoor exploration means summer temperatures and a clear sky. Not surprisingly, people are more likely to visit national parks during the summer. This actually makes sense in several ways. For instance, many hiking trails are closed during winter and access to must-see remote locations tends to be difficult, if at all possible. That being said, those who are in the mood for visiting Yellowstone National Park ASAP should not be frustrated in the winter but excited to know Yellowstone is open for tourists all year long.
Up For a Winter Break? You Could Visit Canada’s Lake Louise
Lake Louis is one of the most popular attractions in Banff National Park (Alberta, Canada). Located at only 3.1 miles (5 km) from the Trans-Canada Highway and about 124 miles (200 km) from Calgary International Airport, this glacial lake is opened and accessible for visitors in all seasons. While the area is particularly popular in the winter for its ski resorts (Sunshine Village, Lake Louis Ski Resort, and Norquai), non-skiers are typically not bored at all when visiting Lake Louis during the snow season.

Not in the Global Village: Thorofare, Arguably One of the Best Hikes in Yellowstone
From time to time, we may feel the need to escape from our technologized life and reconnect with nature (so to speak). Trekking addicts are obviously a type of people that enjoy spending a lot of time outside the pleasures of contemporary life, even if they also love the global village.
