What national parks are open in the winter?

I have some extra vacation days that I need to take around Christmas. I was thinking about visiting a national park, but I’m not sure which ones are open at this time of the year. What national parks will be open in the winter?

Interestingly, 62 of 63 national parks are open in the winter unless rangers decide to close the park due to weather conditions. The only park that’s closed to the public for the entirety of winter is Isle Royale National Park in
Michigan
. Situated in the middle of Lake Superior, the lake, conditions, and weather are far too unpredictable and harsh to allow private planes and ferries to access the island.
However, parks that are open during the winter can close with little to no warning and others may shut down a majority of attractions and facilities. Due to the unpredictability during winter, always call the national park ahead of time to make sure they’re open and what attractions or facilities are available.
Since you’re taking a few minutes to learn more about what national parks are open in winter, why not take a few extra minutes to warm up with better
