Fields of the Wood
The "Fields of the Wood" park in western North Carolina includes some interesting Bible-themed features, especially an enormous hillside display of the Ten Commandments.

Texas State Capitol
I think this is the largest state capitol in the U.S. Who knows, maybe it'll be a national legislature building someday, heh.
Silicon Valley
Checking out some of these famous companies' headquarters (like Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, and Apple) around the San Francisco/San Jose area might be fun.
Lost Dutchman State Park
There are some neat-looking mountains and scenery here, around Phoenix.
Grand Canyon
It's the Grand Canyon.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Grand views of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Hawksbill Crag
A dramatically-placed rocky crag, with great views of the Ozark Forest in northwestern Arkansas. Also, the Buffalo River (which I think the crag overlooks) seems to go by some beautiful sights, so one might want to check out more scenery in if the area here. :)
Voyageurs National Park
Seems like an isolated, calm, peaceful place in northern Minnesota among the many lakes. Perhaps some quiet hiking or kayaking would be nice here.
Yellowstone National Park
There seem to be many natural wonders in Yellowstone, including the colorful Grand Prismatic Spring, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and numerous geysers and thermal features.

Sutter Buttes
This looks like a pretty spot in Northern California around Yuba City, with pretty terrain and open hilly spaces to roam. However, it looks like exploring freely might be tougher here than in other places, due to some access restrictions. Might be worth the effort to get permission, though.
Kalambo Falls
Another waterfall? YEAHJHHHHH It's a pretty one in the pretty spot, I think. :) On the Tanzania-Zambia border, I think.

Flagstaff Hill
Another Oregon Trail spot: this one with quite a nice view of the Blue Mountains.
Three Island Crossing
This spot in Idaho was a significant point along the Oregon Trail. Crossing the Snake River could be dangerous but rewarding, letting travelers access a perhaps safer route than another. Now there's probably some museum stuff there, and likely some nice views too. Also, the town there looks charming. Might be an enjoyable historical stop. :)
Kennedy Space Center
NASA's big famous Florida center. Quite a popular tourist attraction, I think.

Aniakchak
Aniakchak features a huge caldera, including a lake, volcanic-ish scenery, and probably some extraordinary views. Could be quite a beautiful surprise in the Alaskan Peninsula.
Saint Andrews Cathedral
St. Andrews Cathedral is, like, in ruins. There's a tall neat-looking facade or something still there and it looks kinda cool.

Segovia
A palace and a Roman aqueduct thing are here. The latter especially looks cool, but the former also is fairly neat I think.
Leptis Magna
This famous LIbyan old Roman city thing. Why not?
Chogha Zanbil
An old big ziggurat in Iran. Looks kinda impressive.
Somapura Mahavihara
This old Buddhist monastery thing looks pretty old, but pretty interesting. It's this colorful ruin thing with grass on it, and the shapes seem kinda neat too. Also, something to check out in Bangladesh maybe.
