While winter is typically low season in the national parks, there's still plenty to do outside. Consider these four national park winter weekend getaways:
Hiking in Saguaro National Park, Arizona
Climbing in Joshua Tree National Park, California
Skiing in Yosemite National Park, California
Backcountry Skiing in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
And keep these other national park secrets in mind for upcoming fee free days, which for 2011 will be: National Park Week (April 16-24), the first day of summer (June 21), National Public Lands Day (September 24), and the weekend of Veterans Day (November 11-13).
