Winter Adventures in the Southwest

The southwest is known for having warm weather during the spring, summer, and fall. However, did you know that it can get cold there during the winter months? You will even find lots of snow up in the mountainous areas of the southwest. This is perfect if you love all types of winter sports and activities. There are plenty of other things to do during a winter adventure in the southwest too, so you will never be bored during your next family vacation.

Winter Adventures in the Southwest

Explore Ice Castles

You don’t need to go to Disney World to see a castle! Out in Utah, ice castles are created for wintertime fun. Each ice castle is complete with thrones, fountains, tunnels, sculptures, and so much more. Plus, the ice castles are all lit up, so they sparkle against the nighttime sky.

Go Skiing

There are plenty of skiing opportunities available in the mountains of the southwest. You can choose one ski resort or do a little ski-hopping to find your all-time favorite. I love the little town of Angel Fire, because they get a ton of snow! Skiing is always fantastic there!

Go Horseback Riding

There are so many amazing horseback riding trails in the southwest. Many people take advantage of those trails during the warmer weather. I recommend tackling those trails when the snow is covering the ground. The views and experiences you will have during this family winter adventure will give you the memories you have been seeking with your kids.

Visit as Many Frozen Waterfalls as Possible

You won’t believe how many frozen waterfalls you can see while on a family vacation in the southwest. You must hike to many of these frozen waterfalls, but the journey will be worth it when you see the ice sparkling in the sunshine!

Escape to the Spa

This may be a wonderful family vacation, but that doesn’t mean you can’t escape for a little alone time at the spa. There are quite a few incredible spas in the southwest to choose from. You can do a single treatment, or you can reserve time for an entire treatment package. You will feel revitalized and well-rested when you are finished.

Wander Around the Towns

No matter where you are on vacation in the southwest, you can easily wander around the towns. The winter months bring extra décor and ambiance to all towns, so embrace it and enjoy your time away from home.

These are only a few of the winter adventures you can enjoy when taking a family vacation in the Southwest. I would love to help you find other winter adventures that your entire family will love doing together. Let’s work together, so you can create a few magical memories to cherish for a lifetime.
