Churchill River
The Churchill River in Labrador includes at least one big waterfall, and goes through some kind of gorge or canyon on its way to the Atlantic Ocean. It seems quite scenic.
Pyongyang
This place is probably pretty freaky. It's got a neat-looking tall hotel building or something, too But the freakiness is probably the main attraction.
Saint John's
This capital city of Newfoundland seems to have some pretty architecture, with colorful exteriors and historic charm or something like that I guess. It is historic, though, I think, and since it's probably the main city in Newfoundland, it's likely to have some interesting things.
Signal Hill might be neat to see.
Signal Hill might be neat to see.
Cape Saint Mary's
This rocky coastal place has this thing that's known for having a bunch of these birds on it at once, which looks cool I assume.
Gros Morne
A scene in Gros Morne National Park looks like a canyon with a large river at its bottom, but with large tabl-elike mountains as its walls and rim. The green, blue, and grey come together in one of Newfoundland's most famous landscapes.
Torngat Mountains
The Torngat Mountains of Quebec and Labrador offer some beautiful isolated landscapes, with tall slopes above and valleys beneath with great vistas.
Vancouver
Vancouver, British Columbia, is one of the primary cities of Canada. It's in an area with natural beauty, and this city is the center (or "centre") of much of the activity that happens in urban Canada. There are probably some interesting things to see/do here.

Little River Canyon
Alabama's Little River Canyon has some waterfalls I think, and a river and a canyon, and forest, and stuff like that. Charming, perhaps.
Saint John
Saint John is the island of the United States Virgin Islands that is the location of the Virgin Islands National Park, with lovely scenery, and a nice coral reef (unless that doesn't count as part of the island).
Rainbow Bridge
Wow. The Arizona-Utah border could be one of the most scenic political boundaries in the world. Apparently, Rainbow Bridge is the world's largest natural bridge or arch or something. It does look pretty pretty.
Ocmulgee
Ocmulgee National Monument features some pretty old mounds from "Native Americans", probably from thousands of years ago. Probably a neat setting within the city of Macon, Georgia.
Montzeuma Castle
I've seen a few cliff dwellings and such, but this one looks bigger and prettier, architecture-wise.
Devils Postpile
This place in California is another seemingly tough-to-get-to NPS unit, but the main feature, a something-gonal basalt cliff or something, looks worth seeing.
North Cascades National Park
This national park may be one of the most difficult national park units in the NPS to visit, mainly because the easy-to-get-to area isn't really in the National Park boundaries. Just crossing into the park could be a pleasant hike with a nice goofy motive.
Los Alamos
The Los Alamos area of northern New Mexico seems to have multiple interesting things to see/do. The city of Los Alamos itself has a few museums, I believe, and a nice downtown area, and a bridge overlooking a gorge I think. Nearby is White Rock, where a spot overlooking the Rio Grande I think is maintained and well-known. West of Los Alamos is the Valles Caldera, a beautiful area in a place designated as a supervolcano. The beauty is the more attractive part, not the volcano thing. And nearby is Bandelier National Monument, with remains of an ancient settlement or two, I think.
Castle Crags
The Castle Crags area is a place with cragged (or whatever word I'm looking for maybe) mountaintops that look neat, I think, in Northern California.

Sacsayhuaman
This seems to be some old fortress or monument from Incan Empire. The large scale of the stones used to build it appears to be the main attraction, and it really does look impressive from the pictures I've seen.

Atlantic Road
The Atlantic Road in Norway travels to multiple islands, goes over some of the Atlantic Ocean, and includes some bridges, one of them an iconic wavy bridge, I think.

Washington, D.C.
Washington, the capital city of the United States, has a bunch of very interesting things. I have been here before, but didn't get to see everything I wanted to see. I'd definitely be interested in coming here again to see a lot more.
Haleakala
The view from Haleakala is reported to be stunning.
New River Gorge
West Virginia's New River Gorge looks beautiful. The impressive New River Gorge Bridge would likely be one of the main attractions here for me.
Charleston
Charleston, West Virginia, includes its state's capitol building, which is located by a river and below the mountains, which likely makes for a great picture.
Mount Katahdin
Mount Katahdin is one of the endpoints of the Appalachian Trail, and the views from here are probably great.
Indianapolis Monument Circle
Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis seems like a nice place to see. Inside the circle is a monument, and surrounding the circle are some buildings, some of which look tall and cool in my opinion.
Lookout Mountain
Lookout Mountain overlooks Chattanooga, and it seems to be rumored that one can see seven U.S. states from here.
Stone Mountain
Stone Mountain is a huge sculpture/carving/art work thing in Georgia that seems to be pretty famous. The rock itself looks pretty interesting, and it appears to be enormous. The art depicts Confederate figures or something, I think, but it's mainly the fame and the scale that are interesting I think. And perhaps the ride to the top that I think exists.
Biltmore Estate
Biltmore Estate is one of the largest homes in the United States. The grounds and the mansion itself look like a beautiful location.
KVLY-TV Tower
The KVLY-TV Tower near Blanchard, North Dakota, at the moment is recorded as the United States's tallest manmade structure. For a while, I think it was the world's tallest manmade structure, until the Burj Khalifa was built.
Mount Saint Helens
Mount Saint Helens was the location of one of the largest observed volcanic eruptions in recent history. It also seems huge, and among some beautiful landscape.
Mitchell Corn Palace
Mitchell, South Dakota, probably gets most of its fame from its "Corn Palace". Why not.
