If you could build a wild, scenic park, tailor-made for recreation, you couldn’t do better than Smith Rock State Park, or, indeed, the entire region around Bend, Oregon. Climbing, fly-fishing, hiking, mountain biking—pick your sport—the region boasts high cliffs, great rivers, beautiful vistas, and hard and fast singletrack (as well as excellent skiing in winter). The resort looks out over the Deschutes River. As you relax on your private deck, watch for eagles—you may see one drop from the sky to pluck a trout from the water.

No matter how you spend your day, make sure you check in for a massage at the full-service health spa. This is real luxury in the Wild West.
