Moreover, it’s true that San Francisco lacks the feeling of the romance and fun, but if you want to enjoy more fun, here’s a place where you should go during winter.

Yosemite National Park ✭✭✭✭✭

180 miles away from San Francisco, you can enjoy one of the most spectacular and beautiful natural wonders in all of America. February is a magical time to visit Yosemite, with opportunities for hiking, ice skating, playing in the snow, and being in quiet solitude. The silence and beauty of Yosemite in the winter is an unforgettable experience. So head to the Curry Village Ice Rink in Yosemite Valley for ice-skating with some pretty epic views of Half Dome and Glacier Point.
