SPRING CREEK RANCHLocated on 1,000 acres in Jackson Hole, Wyo., Spring Creek Ranch offers "a Western experience" with daily activities and guides, says owner Stephen Price. Other amenities include a pool, spa, hot tub, fitness center, tennis courts and nearby golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.
In the summer guests can go rafting, kayaking and fly-fishing in nearby rivers; on land, there's biking, horseback riding and geocaching, a high-tech scavenger hunt using GPS. Naturalists also lead wildlife safaris in nearby Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks, and families can camp in tepees by an 1880s gold miner's cabin.
Winter activities include downhill and cross-country skiing, dog-sledding, ice skating, snowshoeing and tubing. On Christmas Eve, an employee and his wife, dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus, are available to deliver gifts.
