1. BMW Performance Center
If you missed your true calling as a race-car driver, BMW lets you live out your dreams at this two-hour experience. A pro driver radios in instructions while you put the pedal to the metal and slide around curves in each of the automaker's fastest cars, including the M8 Coupe. Afterward, cool down on the off-road course, where you'll drive an X5 through an artificial river and onto two wheels as you navigate rocky outcroppings.

9. Twin Falls
It's a scenic drive and then an easy hike to these picturesque double falls, where the left and larger of the falls pitches from a height of 75 feet and white water swooshes over wide gray boulders on the right. Don't give in to the temptation to climb the rocks leading to the top of the falls; not only is the view not much better, but also the stones are very slippery. The trail is on public property, a ¼-mile hike one way.
