Outside of Seattle is a town made famous by the '90s television show \"Twin Peaks.\" North Bend's main peak, Mount Si, beckons hikers, and the area's lakes and rivers are great for rafting and fishing. Nearby is Snoqualmie Falls, which cascades 268 feet. Snoqualmie Mountain is also a ski resort during the winter months. But if \"Twin Peaks\" is your thing, you can also attend the annual fan festival and visit the sites that served as locations for the show.

Another gold mining town can be found in the North Georgia mountains in Dahlonega, where gold was discovered in 1828 before the big rush to the West. There is still gold in these hills, but the real treasure is the waterfalls surrounding this Appalachian town, including Amicalola Falls, the tallest cascade east of the Mississippi. Within the town are tasting rooms of North Georgia wineries, restaurants, shops and entertainment encircling a town square — all utterly charming.

Visit Dahlonega.

Your jumping-off town to the Adirondack Mountains, Lake George awaits on the lake with the same name. Here, the British-built Fort William Henry stands as a museum showcasing the area's pre-Revolutionary history.

In the northwest corner of South Carolina, Walhalla calls itself \"Main Street to the Mountains.\" Found within the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains and nestled beside the Chattooga River, the city knows you're staying here to enjoy nature's spoils. That's why it gives you Stumphouse Mountain Bike Park. And, when the state's longest pedestrian trail, Palmetto Trail, completes, it will end in Walhalla.
