You don’t have to go big to keep your little snow bunnies entertained this winter. In fact, these tiny towns are proving just how much adventure one family can fit into a small space, with everything from sleigh rides and sledding to skijoring and sightseeing, and even a few that don’t include snowy goodness (hello, beaches and sunshine). Flip through to find your next pint-sized winter destination!
Nevada City, California (Appx. Population 3,100)
Go back in time—or at least feel like you have—with a trip to Nevada City, which is located in the Sierra Foothills (about two and a half hours from San Francisco). Here, leading up to Christmas you’ll see carolers, roving minstrels jugglers, costumed characters, and horse-drawn carriages meandering around the closed-to-traffic streets. You can read our insider's guide to the festivities by clicking here.
