Peyto Lake in the Canadian Rockies was gorgeous.

Rio de Janeiro. I felt like I'd walked into a postcard

Well mine are mostly listed already but I’ll give some spin on them:

Grand Canyon at sunset (so many tourists leave before then!)
A meadow in Tetons that they took us to for a cookout on a horseback ride
Napoli coast and hanalei bay (which is sort of the back view of the napali coast)


I fel like there are also some beautiful gardens of tree areas but I can’t pick just one. Whenever I drive someplace that was an old carriage road with the big trees leaning over it, especially if they are in bloom or changing colors, that’s always magical.

And here’s my totally random one — novodevicby convent in Moscow. I’m sure I’ll never see it again but I really loved just walking through the grounds. So beautiful.

Not OP, but apparently I have a very different view of "normal person" than most people here.

For less normal (American) people landscape, I was blown away by St. David’s peninsula in Wales. Went there for a wedding and was flabbergasted at how beautiful it is.


We are headed to Hoh in July! Nice to see it pop up on this thread.


Recommend getting to Hoh pretty early in the morning to avoid 2+ hour waits. I can't remember exactly, but I think a ranger suggested that we be there by 9am or 10am and we were so glad we listened. We had no wait at all but after that the parking lots got full and the lines to get in as we were leaving were crazy long. All of Olympic is amazing (and the various stops are so different from one another) - enjoy!!!!

Bora Bora
Seychelles - every beach
Maldives
Na Pali coast Hawaii
Alaska fjords
Iguazu Falls
Switzerland

Looking at this list - makes me realize Seychelles was the most beautiful although they all come close in their own way.
