Yamoussoukro

The basilica in Yamoussoukro is huge and kinda looks pretty. Also, there seem to be lots of spots for strolling by water or over it.

Tikal

These pretty famous ruins in Guatemala. A tall pyramid, and likely good places to check out the jungle top from above.

Pico Cão Grande

This huge tall peak seems basically like a tall black rock tower. In this island jungle setting, it looks quite pretty and grand.

Craters of the Moon

The ones in Idaho. Not only do those volcanic kinda things look really weird and impressive, I'm not sure how to put a lunar location on a Google map.

Hanging Lake

This lake in Colorado apparently has some very clear water, with beautiful scenery visible from trails and perhaps a boardwalk. The waterfalls here might look especially pretty in winter.

Horseshoe Bend

This part of the Colorado River is at the bottom of quite an impressive curved gorge called Horseshoe Bend, and the pictures of it seem to indicate that it's an amazing view.

U.S. Space and Rocket Center

This is that place with the rocket stuff in Huntsville, Alabama.

Scotts Bluff

A big rock or something in western Nebraska, which seems odd due to the general flatness of Nebraska.

Smith Falls

In northern Nebraska, this waterfall is in a fairly rural/remote location, it seems. It seems pretty, as do its surroundings, so one might as well check it out if they're in the area.

Moon Hill

This mountain thing in Guangxi has a natural arch that looks huge and really cool, near Yangshuo. This might or might not be categorized as part of the Hills of Guilin, which have their own post here, but this thing does look neat enough to have its post I suppose.

Sleeping Giant

Sleep Giant is a geologic formation near Thunder Bay, Ontario. The main spectacle here appears to be the views of and from the very tall cliffs up there. The park of it seems to offer other pretty scenery in addition.
