It's Officially Fall, So Let's Plan Your Winter Vacation!

Monday September 25, 2006
It's never too eary to plan for an action packed and memorable winter vacation. You might want to try Colorado this year for something really new and exciting. In the Colorado high country you can kite board or ski, go ice climbing or try your hand at dog sledding or bike skiing. At Brian Head, Utah you can go for a snowmobile tour.

For something a little more sedate, head to Canyon Road in Santa Fe as they light the holiday bonfires on street corners. Or, for a once in a lifetime Christmas experience, watch a sunrise at the Grand Canyon and have Christmas dinner at El Tovar historic lodge.

And, for a trip that will be a sure hit with the kids around holiday time, the Grand Canyon Railway hosts a special Polar Express train ride from Williams, Arizona to the North Pole!
