The small city, on a series of bluffs at a large bend in the river, rose to prominence as an important trading post. But it wasn’t just traders that came here. Mark Twain lived in Muscatine briefly, and the town left an impression on him—he once reminisced, “And I remember Muscatine . . . for its summer sunsets. I have never seen any, on either side of the ocean, that equaled them.” Today, you can watch the sun set behind the river from the Mark Twain Scenic Overlook. It’s located in the quaint downtown district, most of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Here, you’ll find plenty of shops and restaurants, the Muscatine History and Industry Center—which chronicles the city’s history as the pearl-button capital of the world—and the Mississippi Mist Fountain. Cool off on hot days by playing in the water cannon’s 30-foot-high stream. You can also stretch your legs in one of Muscatine’s 20 parks, which are interlaced with 10 miles of trails and the working historic Pine Creek Grist Mill, built in 1848.

We’ll let you know the name and exact address of your top-secret hotel after you purchase the deal: Look in the redemption instructions for this deal, found in your account and on your email confirmation. Hotel at a Glance: 4-Star Top-Secret Downtown St. Louis Hotel Set in a 19th-century building in downtown St. Louis, this 4-star hotel is close to many historical sites. It’s about a 10-minute walk from the city’s famous Gateway Arch and an 8-minute walk from Laclede’s Landing, a riverfront historic district with restaurants and bars. In the rooms: mini fridges great for chilling beer that guests pick up from local breweries Self-parking: available for an additional fee Recent award: TripAdvisor’s 2018 Certificate of Excellence St. Louis, Missouri: Urban Park Space and Brewery Tours in the Gateway City The first thing you notice about the St. Louis Gateway Arch is its height: at 630 feet, it’s the tallest manmade monument in the United States, and it dwarfs the other buildings of the St. Louis skyline. Less obvious is the fact that the Arch is exactly as tall as it is wide, stretching out along the banks of the Mississippi River. You can take a ride to the summit for a bird’s-eye view of the city’s skyline and riverboats riding the Mississippi. Make sure you get to the Arch before 10 a.m.; after that, the lines start to get long, and tickets sometimes sell out in the afternoon. A few miles down the river, you’ll find the headquarters of brewing giant Anheuser-Busch, which began producing there in 1852. On a tour through the red-brick brewery, you can sample beers and visit the stables where the company keeps its iconic clydesdale horses. Nearby Forest Park’s more than 1,200 acres of green space are also worth a visit. Contained in this space is the Saint Louis Zoo, which corrals hundreds of species in several different habitats; it’s frequently cited as one of the best zoos in the country, and entrance is free.

It’s the best place in the city to go for an authentic Texas experience. You can still watch drovers on horseback parade herds of cattle down the main drag. Live musicians accompany line dancing at the site of a famous 19th-century gunfight, and at a nearby rodeo center, modern-day cowboys demonstrate bull riding and barrel racing during two-hour exhibitions.

Today, the alpine berg draws sizable crowds during ski season but still retains its small-town vibe. Ski season—when an average of more than 320 inches of snow blankets the slopes of Winter Park Resort—typically runs from mid-November to late April. Skiers and snowboarders have access to more than 3,000 acres of terrain, 25 chairlifts, and five terrain parks. Mary Jane Mountain proffers legendary mogul runs, leading Skiing Magazine to name it the No. 1 place for mogul skiing in North America. The park’s surrounding mountains and forests offer plenty to do off-season, too. Come summertime, Winter Park Resort is a popular mountain-biking destination, with 40 miles of downhill trails that feature tabletop jumps and banked cruisers. About 35 miles north of Winter Park, there’s fantastic hiking along a trail that skirts the Continental Divide, wending past waterfalls and through open meadows en route to Columbine Lake. Autumn is particularly scenic, as the leaves of native aspens turn red, gold, and orange.
