Set along the Mississippi River in western Wisconsin, the mid-size city of La Crosse offers visitors a scenic vacation spot within America's heartland. Visitors can hike to the top of Grandad Bluff and catch views of three states or take a leisurely stroll through downtown with its numerous restaurants and boutique shops. La Crosse has only one actual resort but the many high-quality hotels within the city more than make up for this.
