Granted, US presidents didn't vacation at Mount Rushmore. But if our list has you hankering to see some famous faces, plan a getaway to this iconic landmark instead.
Glenwood Springs
Named for its mineral springs and awed for its scenic Rocky Mountain beauty, Glenwood Springs garnered attention long before neighboring swanky ski resorts of Vail or Aspen ever did. In 1905, the Hotel Colorado (www.hotelcolorado.com), today a National Historic Landmark, was the base for then-President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt during a three-week bear-hunting expedition. Legend has it that the teddy bear was born here when maids presented the President with the stuffed animal after an unsuccessful day of hunting. Make the Roosevelt Suite – the same room where the President stayed – your home base for a vacation spent at the confluence of the Colorado and the Roaring Fork rivers and known for its white-water rafting, fly-fishing, and cave tours.
