Discover 7 Places Snow All Year Round in the U.S.
Looking to escape the heat this summer and find snow even when it's warm elsewhere? Surprisingly, several U.S. destinations offer just that — snowfields or icy high-altitude terrain that remain well into the warmer months. The article highlights rugged mountain landscapes where winter lingers long, and for some, it never fully ends.
Here are some of the top picks:

1. North Cascades National Park, Washington

Even in July, snow tunnels underfoot. On a summer visit, the author found themselves walking in deep snow right by the parking lot, while hikers in shorts and tanks skied nearby. Why go: A dramatic alpine escape, with icy terrain, shocking snowfields at height, and pure wilderness. Quick tip: Some roads and trails remain closed until late summer—plan accordingly.

2. Inyo National Forest, California

Located in the Sierra Nevada, including areas like Saddlebag Lake, you can step from lake-shore scenery into snow within minutes. Skiing and ice-climbing still happen in summer. Why go: Exceptional contrast — you could sunbathe one minute, snowball fight the next. Quick tip: These snowfields are less groomed, steep and require caution if exploring.

3. Mount Hood National Forest, Oregon

About two and a half hours from Portland, in summer you can play in snow near the lodge, sip hot chocolate, and gaze over snow-clad peaks. The area even offers summer skiing when conditions allow. Why go: A convenient snow-escape from the city. Quick tip: Even in summer snow storms can surprise — dress in layers.

4. Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

This park is often snow-covered into mid-summer. Roads may remain closed due to snowdrifts that don’t melt quickly. Why go: Ethereal winter landscapes well outside the ski season. Quick tip: Check current conditions — access can be restricted.

5. White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire

On the East Coast, you can still reach snowfields in July if you hike into areas like Tuckerman’s Ravine on Mount Washington. Why go: A unique east-coast option for summer snow-experiences. Quick tip: A hike is required; snow is mostly off the beaten path.

6. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

Near Seattle, you’ll find snow patches and glacial terrain lingering past the prime ski season. Trails from Paradise towards Muir Snowfield provide access. Why go: Mix of accessibility and alpine grandeur. Quick tip: Even short hikes can lead you to cold snowfields — bring windproof layers.

7. Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

In the height of summer you may still find snow on high trails (for example from Lupine Meadows toward Nez Perce). This region offers solitude, wild scenery and snow-lingering zones. Why go: Combine “summer vacation” with “winter playground” in one trip. Quick tip: High altitude means thinner air and colder temperatures even in summer.

Final Words

If you’ve had enough of the sun-burn and heatwave, it might be time to swap your flip-flops for boots. These destinations give a rare chance to play in snow or ski while others are sweating. Just remember: high elevation and snowfields need preparation. Whether it’s skiing in summer, hiking across a snow tunnel, or simply reveling in icy air on a hot day, these places deliver something extraordinary.
