A few that were exceptional to me, by region:
West: Grand Prismatic Spring, notably both walking on it, and the overlook, etc by Fairy Falls Trail, Yellowstone.
South: Great Smoky Mountains are highly distinctive in general-the Alum Cave/Mount Le Conte Trail is particularly good, though.
Midwest: Mackinac Island, broadly, but esp the water. Having been to quite a few places, still the clearest water I’ve ever seen.
Northeast: Niagara Falls-yeah, maybe not quite as large as Victoria or Iguazu, but still absolutely immense to behold.
Hawaii Volcanoes NP-simply otherworldly
Glacier Bay NP-also unlike most anything, anywhere
Honorable mentions US: Congress Trail, Sequoia NP; Lassen Volcanic/Bumpass Hell Trail is highly underrated; Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain NP, El Yunque Forest PR, and San Francisco Bay Views

There's no place like home.


Concordia yawls in Padanaram Harbor. South Dartmouth MA.

Looking at seals. Cuttyhunk is in the background.



Pretty much any summer day at sunset on the beach. South Dartmouth MA

Monument Valley, Utah.

Still the greatest 2:38 of a movie depicting scenery:

No particular order; each special in its own way:

Kauai, HI
Yosemite National Park, CA
Lake Winnipesaukee, NH
Brandywine Valley, PA/DE
Smoky Mountains, TN
Mt. Evans, CO
Grand Canyon, AZ
San Francisco Bay

Disclaimer: haven't yet visited the Pacific NW, but I have a feeling it will be on the list.

There are still a number of ferries crossing the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, which offer relaxing and scenic alternatives to the bridges,

I enjoy driving down Western Avenue in Chicago. Every few blocks, the store-front alphabet changes, going from one ethnic neighborhood to another.
