Yeah it's was strange. I sat on rocks to enjoy the view of Denali and Foraker and the just were bathing and chatting.
Talkeetna is a very eccentric town though

quote:Yeah. At the top of the Klein Matterhorn there is a cave carved in to a glacier about 50 yards down a ski slope from the coffee shop. I went to explore the cave while my wife stayed in the coffee shop. When I emerged from the cave about 15 minutes later, there was a whiteout blizzard going on. I tried to get back to the coffee shop but I kept sliding back down the hill. Finally I was able to crawl there on my hands and knees. The people in the coffee shop were watching me from the window and thought it was so funny they were taking videos of me. My wife was afraid I was going to pull a Sonny Bono.... I know the platform you are talking about and had the same experience up there. I have a picture of me with my hair frozen solid. ....We had an all day cable car pass. A couple of hours later we were on the next level down where they have a cafeteria with an outdoor terrace. By that time the weather had cleared and that is where we had the view I was referring to. The most spectacular scenery I have ever seen.
How'd you like that gentle breeze

Not nearly as well traveled as others, but there’s one lookout point on the road around South Lake Tahoe that made me speechless. Tahoe in general is amazing, but that view stopped me in my tracks.

recent hunting trip i went on in Colorado. I hunted a big field that had this beautiful lake in the middle of it. there were purple and gold wildflowers in the field. I was about 6 miles into the woods off any trail and it was a bitch getting to this field. There was Elk and Mule Deer shite and tracks everywhere.
I spent the day overlooking that field all day, even though that's not how you hunt elk, with a bow.
It's not that it was the most beautiful scenery ever, even though it was real nice, it was the fact that i was alone, in nature, no sounds whatsoever other than the wind through the trees and an occasional fish eating something on top the water. It was also the fact that i knew i was likely sitting somewhere very few humans have likely sat, and there's probably just a handful of people that have ever seen that lake. That's what made it beautiful to me.
The only people that would have ever seen that lake are hunters b/c it was far to off the beaten trail to get to, and if you didn't have a satellite phone like i did, you'd never know it was there.

The first time I did a swim through from the sand out over the abyss.... Santa Rosa wall.... 80’ deep. It was mesmerizing.... I had only thought I knew what blue looked like.

Its hard to not bring emotion into it but probably my daughter playing in the Indian Ocean surf and on the Dunes at Sardinia Bay Beach during sunset in South Africa.

I'd have to make the distinction of removing any person(s) I care for from the scenery, so just the geographical place without any interpersonal emotion involved.
Some sights on the PCH would be on my short list, a couple areas on the Big Island of Hawai'i also, some places on Yakushima Island, Skellig Michael off Ireland, Playa Cabo Blanco in Costa Rica, Zion National Park, teh Whistler area, etc.....
I can't go for one single vista.

The beaches of the Marianas Islands. Specifically Saipan
Absolutely the clearest water I have ever seen. It's unbelievable there and definitely a hidden gem.

I know this is a little less well known, but the Wallowa mountains in Eastern Oregon are beautiful. If you are looking for summer hiking with moutain streams and mountain lakes, that is fantastic.

Beautiful shots man.

View of the Swiss Alps from our corner balcony at Hotel Alpina in Mürren...nice view, but you could also look straight down 2,500 feet and see the Lauterbrunnen Valley
First time I’ve seen what two vertical miles looks like...

The most spectacular scenery I have ever seen was from the upper levels of the Klein Matterhorn (Little Matterhorn),the mountain next to the Matterhorn near Zermatt, Switzerland. When you look over you are staring at the Matterhorn. Then you look DOWN at the snow covered Alps and the town of Zermatt off in the distance. An incredible sight....
I am more of a house on the ocean type of person, but I honestly came here to post about the same area. The slopes all along from Zermatt to lauterbrunen are magnificent places for scenery.
