I can think of 4 significant-sized American cities that have a location that is renowned as a stunning urban vista...

Honolulu: the Diamondhead Crater vista.

Los Angeles: the Griffith Park Observatory vista.

Pittsburgh: the Mt.Washington vista.

San Francisco: the Twin Peaks vista.

To qualify as an "urban vista", it has to be either the edge of a hill or mountain, or from a famed building ON the edge of a hill or mountain (for example the Griffith Park Observatory in L.A., the Duquesne Incline observation deck in Pittsburgh, etc).

Let's define a "major American city" as a city large enough to support at least 1 pro sports team in at least 1 of the major sports (NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB).

Is there any major city I'm forgetting that has a stunning urban vista?

And while we're at it, how about everybody list what they feel is America's most impressive (however you wish to define impressive for you) urban vista?
