Biggest Disappointment Not seeing Mount McKinley. The 20,320-foot mountain in Alaska's Denali National Park was nowhere to be seen on my visit in August. Clouds shroud the Great One most of the time. It's not a sight soon forgotten. Calif. Thousands of pieces of chewed bubble gum are plastered on the wall in an alleyway near Mother's Tavern.

The landmark central California hotel has 109 rooms, each with a different theme, from Barrel of Fun to Canary Cottage, from the Caveman Room to Jungle Rock, from the Matterhorn to Sugar and Spice. Most of the rooms feature a lot of rock. Quality American Indian art is displayed throughout the hotel, and some is for sale in the gift shop.
