Heading for winter fun, cozy cabins and snowy adventures? These mountain towns may be for you.
Beginning with one of the most obvious, Stowe, Vermont, is a beloved mountain town for good reason. With Mount Mansfield, Smugglers’ Notch State Park, Stowe Recreation Path follows the unbeatable mountain views; you’ll have more than enough luring you outside and into the stunning landscape.
You don’t have to ski or snowboard in Bend, you can just love the great outdoors and feel fulfilled. This small city in Oregon offers the Deschutes River, Cascade Mountains and plenty of ski resorts. Hike Newberry National Volcanic Monument, deep into the Lava River Cave, or just hang out at the resort by the fire with a view of the mountains.
For quaint mountain town fun, North Conway, New Hampshire, is one of those welcoming cities with sleepy inns and beautiful outdoor recreation, perfect for a quiet trip in the mountains with plenty of activity to entertain — or not.
Synonymous with mountain towns and ski resorts, Aspen boasts year-round attractions. Take in the beauty of the Colorado Rocky mountains and ski-ready landscape, with all the fun of some nearby dining, shopping and historic landmarks.
Christmas lovers, this one does not disappoint. Gatlinburg, Tennessee, boasts that small mountain town fun with holiday cheer. Escape to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and enjoy the wilderness, or head downtown for some city fun.
