Short winter days are still packed with family fun this December in North Carolina.  Pull out the winter gear and hit the slopes on your skis or snowboard, or ride the winter wave on a snow tube.  In our state capital of Raleigh, stay warm indoors at a museum with Picasso, or get a workout on a shopping spree!  The coast is alight this December, but that's nothing new... our historic lighthouses have been illuminating the coast for over 100 years.  Winter weather can be frightful, but in North Carolina it's delightful this December, so come explore!

Mountains

High Country Holidays
Ice and snow may be an impediment elsewhere, but in our high country, it's just frosting on your winter holidays.  In North Carolina's mild climate, most of the December snow is on the slopes, not on the roads. Our ski resort operators have mastered the art of making snow, so there's always a winter wonderland to explore.

Heartland

A Capital Holiday
From an exhibition of Matisse and Picasso or a $1,000 shopping spree to more than 100 other holiday events, Raleigh is brightly painting the capital for the holidays.

Coast

What Light Through Yon Window Breaks?
November 30, 1875, was probably a dark and stormy night on a stretch of North Carolina coast known as the last "dark spot." The next evening, on December 1, 1875, this dark spot on the coast would change forever and the Graveyard of the Atlantic would be lighted from end-to-end, allowing ships safe passage.

Golf

Play our Dan Maples Trail
Dan Maples is, quite simply, North Carolina's greatest homegrown golf architect.  Of course, he comes by his remarkable talents naturally. The Maples family, long based in Pinehurst, has roots in golf course construction that go all the way back to the 19th century.
