A real winter wonderland! Frozen beauty of America's National
Parks captured in stunning photographs as temperatures plummet
These stunning snaps capture the country's true winter wonderlands
as Mother Nature's icy grip takes hold of America's National Parks.
From snow-capped mountains in
Yosemite to an icy still Glacier Bay, the incredible images show their natural
beauty is truly year round.
In other breathtaking shots crisp
frost lines the paths through Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee.
Meanwhile, Oregon's Crater Lake
boasts more than just a slight dusting of snow.
Go inside the stunning caves of
Apostle Island National Lakeshore Park in Wisconsin.
Or experience the rare views of a
snow-capped Grand Canyon.
All of the images were collated
by the US Department of the Interior, which is the agency that protects US
land, water and wildlife.
Tim Fullerton, Director of
Digital Strategy, said: 'America's public lands are just as beautiful this time
of year as they are in the warmer months.
'Snow and ice turns national
parks, wildlife refuges and other public lands into a winter wonderland,
enhancing the beauty of nature in America's great outdoors.'
