January is the perfect month to go on a girls’ getaway or family vacation. The festive season has just ended, so traveling this time of year (after the holidays) is much more affordable. You’ll find great deals on flights, hotels, and vacation packages this month – especially for last-minute trips. <\/p>\n

Imagine skiing or snowboarding on the slopes, sipping champagne apr\u00e9s style, relaxing in spas, hiking, exploring cities, shopping, and attending (uncrowded) events and tours.  This is another perk of traveling in January. Beyond better pricing, popular hotels, tours, and restaurants that would typically be sold out during high season tend to be wide open. <\/p>\n

With so many great January destinations, we have compiled a list of our top 15 best destinations to visit in January in the USA. Whether you’re looking for a quick weekend escape or a week-long getaway, we hope this article inspires you to grab your girlfriends and go on an adventure this month!<\/p>\n

Big Bear, California, is a picturesque destination that should be on your travel bucket list for January. It is nestled in the heart of the San Bernardino Mountains, which makes it conveniently located close enough to Los Angeles that you could enjoy the best of both worlds – surfing in the morning and skiing in the afternoon. <\/p>\n

If you are a snow lover, you can hit the slopes and enjoy skiing or snowboarding at one of two mountain resorts – Snow Summit or Bear Mountain. If relaxation is more your style, you can unwind and rejuvenate at one of the many spas in the area.<\/p>\n

For the adventurous types, there are guided snowshoeing tours, hikes and helicopter tours that offer breathtaking views of the mountains and surrounding areas.
