Estes Park, Colorado: Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park

Estes Park is a small town known as the eastern gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Dowtown along Elkhorn Avenue, the main drag, there are the usual souvenir, taffy, and ice-cream shops—but also local breweries and independent restaurants. The resort town also has a popular outdoor ice rink, open on weekends in the winter.

Each year, more than three million people head into Rocky Mountain National Park to access 300 miles of hiking trails and admire stunning mountain vistas. The park’s most popular hike is the half-mile loop around the flat terrain of Bear Lake, but the crowd thins out somewhat at Nymph, Dream, and Emerald Lakes. Weather permitting, visitors take the region’s spectacular scenic drives. Trail Ridge Road bisects the park east to west, bringing travelers up to a maximum elevation of 12,000 feet above the tree line. Another option is the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway. It wends past the Continental Divide, offering views of Longs Peak—the park’s highest summit, at 14,259 feet.

Property at a Glance: Great Wolf Lodge Colorado Springs

The heart and soul of Great Wolf Lodge Colorado Springs is its 79,000-square-foot indoor water park. Splashy rides such as the Howlin’ Tornado—an enclosed water slide that shoots you through a six-story funnel—and a zero-depth-entry wave pool with 3-foot swells surround the park’s iconic hub: a four-story treehouse with a huge tipping bucket. Younger kids will have a blast with the water slides and gentle spray features of Whooping Hollow and Cub Paw Pool.

The water park, which hovers around 84 degrees all year long, isn’t the resort’s only family-friendly activity. You’ll also find Howl in One Mini Golf and mini bowling at Ten Paw Alley.

• Extended and exclusive water park access: You can enter the water park at 1 p.m. on the day you check in and stay until close on the day you check out (essentially 2 days’ water park admission). And since there are no day passes for outside visitors, resort guests have exclusive access and won’t get stuck in long lines.
• Family-friendly fun: Enjoy games and activities for kids of all ages. Explore all activities by age group here.
• Hands-on crafts and activities such as face painting and balloon twisting during the Lunch Time Lineup can entertain young children when they want a break from the water park action.
• Roomy suites comfortably sleep up to five people. Some suites provide extra privacy with enclosed bunk beds.
• Climb through obstacles and balance on rope bridges 30 feet off the ground at the indoor Howlers Peak Ropes Course.
• Fuel up with food and drinks at eight restaurants and snack bars.
• Add a Paw Pass or Pup Pass to your stay to enjoy kid-friendly activities and sweets at Creation Station, Oliver’s Mining Co., and more at a discounted rate. See everything that’s included—as well as other available packages—here (additional fees apply).

Hotel at a Glance: Sheraton On The Falls Hotel

When it comes to Niagara Falls, it’s hard to improve on what nature created. It’s fitting, then, that all 22 stories of Sheraton On The Falls blend into their natural surroundings, giving guests unobstructed views of the crashing water. Restaurants, indoor swimming pool, and many of the guest rooms all overlook the sight. Beyond the falls themselves, the hotel has direct access to attractions including a three-acre indoor water park and a casino with 1,700 slot machines.

• Accolades: The hotel earned AAA Four Diamond status as well as a 2018 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.
• Fine wine: With all options of this deal, you’ll get winery passes for two to Jackson Triggs and Inniskillin.
• Dine with a view: Dig into pan-seared wild scallops or Black-Angus steak at Prime Steakhouse Niagara Falls or try some hearty Italian dishes at Massimo’s Italian Fallsview Restaurant.
• Pamper yourself with a facial or massage at the Christienne Fallsview Spa.
• Even more perks: All options include two cocktails at Niagara Vines or Hard Rock Cafe per day and one bottle of red or white wine upon arrival.

Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls near Vegas-Style Casinos and Water Parks

At Niagara Falls, water thunders downward from a height of nearly 200 feet, crashing onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddle the border between Canada and the United States, but the Canadian side of the Niagara River is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in all three of Niagara Falls’ photogenic brinks: American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.

Hornblower cruises ferry raincoat-clad passengers around the base of the falls from April to October, depending on the river’s ice conditions. Year-round, Journey Behind the Falls grants a glimpse behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls—visitors board an elevator that descends 150 feet into the bedrock, then stand at an observation deck steps from the cascading water. A 10-minute walk from the falls is the neon-lit Clifton Hill neighborhood. Its Fallsview Boulevard has plenty of Vegas-style kitsch, including glitzy casinos and indoor water parks.
