Originally part of Spanish-ruled Mexico, San Antonio's history dates to 1681. Today's visitors can follow the interwoven threads of Hispanic culture and Texas-style enthusiasm. Although the city is a treat to visit almost year-round, December guests will enjoy a range of holiday treats in delightfully refreshing temperatures. Icicle Valley or Rocky Mountain High? Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? If your dream Christmas includes snow-topped peaks, take a scenic 105-mile drive from Seattle over the Cascade Mountains to the Bavarian-style mountain resort of Leavenworth, Washington. For a peaceful escape, head to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, just 90-minutes north of Denver, Colorado.
