North American Destinations Offer Seasonal Getaways
Travelers seeking a quieter holiday escape can trade crowded gatherings for mountain scenery, outdoor recreation and seasonal celebrations. Colorado’s Ouray offers year-round mineral hot springs, a historic vapor cave and lower-elevation trails, while Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, pairs holiday lights on the lake with skiing and bald-eagle viewing. Near Yosemite’s South Entrance, Tenaya at Yosemite and Waybound Yosemite are promoting festive activities, seasonal dining and cozy cabin stays. In Whistler, a resort’s Thanksgiving weekend plans include a traditional buffet, fireside whisky experiences and family activities such as maple taffy-making and wreath workshops.
