It gets even better when you have a resort at the top of a mountain and you can stay and relish the view as much as you want. Here is my list of 7 mountain top resorts with a spectacular view that you simply must visit.
Located in Teton Village in Wyoming, the Jackson Hole Resort, as the name suggests, overlooks the Jackson Hole valley. It is one of the best ski resorts in the area with a spectacular view to boot.
