From Washington to New Hampshire, pack up your skis and head out to one of these one-of-a-kind destinations for cross-country skiing.
Yellowstone National Park
Wyoming
Winter is the ideal time to beat the crowds at this world-famous park and indulge in some of the best Nordic skiing in the country.
Mount Rainier National Park
Washington
The Paradise area of Mount Rainier is the place to be in the winter. Enjoy free ranger-guided walks and countless miles of scenic terrain.
Harriman State Park
Idaho
Harriman State Park is part of the greater ecosystem that encompasses Yellowstone National Park and offers endless miles of trails and wildlife viewing opportunities.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Colorado
Home to 60 mountain peaks and an array of animal and plant life, there is no shortage of sights and activities at Rocky Mountain NP.
White Mountain National Forest
New Hampshire
Enjoy panoramic views of the White Mountains amid groomed cross country trails, as well as top notch back country skiing within the boundaries of the Pemigewasset Wilderness.
For the first time in many years we have experienced substantial snow fall here in the New Forest Hampshire UK. Sledging has been more popular than skiiing. Good family fun.

I live in Maine and we visit the White Mountains in NH all the time. It's only 3 hours away and so worth the trip. Anyone in New England should check out what it has to offer.

Very good article. I am not so much into macro or close-up photography but knowledge someone can never have enough.
