If you're looking for a historic southwestern resort, look no further than The El Rancho Hotel, which was built by the brother of the movie magnet, D.W. Griffith. Drawn by the many films made in the area, Ronald Reagan, Katharine Hepburn, and Kirk Douglas were among the many stars listed in the guest register. Autographed photos of the stars, Navajo rugs, and mounted trophy animal heads adorn the magnificent two-story open lobby with its circular staircase. As alluring as El Rancho is, there are still countless off-site excursions that you must get a taste of. Soak in the rugged southwestern scenery from the clouds in a hot air balloon, cruise along Route 66 for a ground-level view of the gorgeous landscape, or bike through the rough terrain that Hollywood fell in love with!
