Incredible Spots for Ice Skating

When the glacier-fed waters of Banff National Park freeze, its Lake Louise becomes one of the most scenic places in the world for skating.

New York's iconic Central Park - and its Trump Rink - becomes a hub for skaters during the winter.

It's not what most people envision doing by the beach, but Hotel del Coronado in San Diego sets up a rink along the Pacific Ocean for holiday ice skating. The year 2014 marked the 11th year that hotel has had the rink on its lawn, with views of Coronado beach and sunsets over the ocean.

The majestic Half Dome is a commanding presence beyond the skating rink at Yosemite National Park. The Curry Village Ice Rink is open from November-March traditionally at Yosemite, which has offered ice skating since the 1930s.
