3 holiday adventures in California’s national parks

LOS ANGELES — There’s something special about a holiday trip to a national park.

At many parks, you get more space to yourself, with crowds dispersing after summer ends. Snow falls, depending on the park, and certain plants and animals go into hibernation. It can be a quiet, contemplative time — a new side of nature to experience for those who typically visit during warmer months.

You’ll find holiday adventures that await in California’s national parks. But a quick word of caution: For your own safety and the safety of others, it’s important to follow all rules and posted guidance while visiting national parks. Before making a trip, check park websites for the latest information on winter weather and road closures.
