I recommend Dry Falls at dusk. That whole stretch from Ephrata to Grand Coulee is cool. Why more people (myself included) don't weekend at Banks Lake is beyond me.HillsboroDuck said:

Denali
Patagonia
Himalayas
Liberty Bell is cool.
I really want to go to Mount Shuksan, never been on that side of Baker.
Mt. Shuksan / Artist point is great! You can get a south view of Shuksan and eastern view from Baker Lake. When I was in Colorado a little diner had a big mural of Shuksan on the wall. I don't think they realized it was in Washington. I also personally enjoy Whitehorse Mountain outside of Darrington. Virtually rises like 6500 feet from the valley floor.

I need to add the Olympic Rainforest and Wieliczka Salt Mine.whlinder said:Crater Lake & St. Helens.

Canyon in Yellowstone. Worked in the park two summers in college, favorite place in the world.

A Huskie once told me that Mt. Shuksan was famous for being the most photographed or image reproduced mountain of all time.
CSB? -
Continuing on the more land down under amazing spots...
12 Apostles (shout out to @dnc ) down the coast from Melbourne are stunning...
The Blue Mts outside Sydney are a trip too...
-
Tough call. Either the time I met Christy Canyon at a magazine signing at an Adult Bookstore in the early 90s'...
Or this cactus...
-
Never heard that story but feel like it has to be true. That shit is on TV, calendars, print ads etc all the time. I doubt it's the most frequently photographed since it's obscure and out of the way but I don't doubt it's most widespread reproduction.BennyBeaver said:A Huskie once told me that Mt.

I worked in the park the summer a Japanese tourist put their kid on the back of an elk and took a photo not realizing that they were wild animals. Saw multiple people try to pet bison, which kill people like every other year. Wild times. Also accidentally bear maced myself when back packing once. That sucked.Edwin_Bambino said:Canyon in Yellowstone. Worked in the park two summers in college, favorite place in the world.

Not sure exactly what this means but I assume it involves self victory coitus.Edwin_Bambino said:

Prepare to be underwhelmed. I have been a lot of beautiful places including most of those listed here already but...YellowSnow said:This thread is shit w/o @Mad_Son
One place I really liked was the Alpine Fault. This fault is a transform boundary between the Pacific plate and the Indo-Austrlian plate so you can easily stand on two continents at once.
This isn't anyone I know but this picture looks like the same/similar location as my favorite time climbing on the Alpine Fault.
I also don't know if this counts as visiting a geologic feature but when I used to work in oil it was a blast going offshore and checking out the cuttings circulating up the hole to see how mypredictions of 20k+ feet beneath the surface compared to reality.
To throw you a bone though, somewhere cool I went this past October was the Cliffs of Moher

Youngest would make it through about ten minutes of HCH banter, stand up, declare "OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE" and walk out

This thread has now mostly made me feel bad about myself

Nā Pali Coast and Waimea Canyon on Kauai. The hikes on the Awa'awapuhi and Nu'alolo Trails are amazing with incredible views of the Nā Pali Coast.
Trolltunga in Hordaland of Norway. @NorwegianHusky have you even been? -
Jungfraujoch train is THIS economy...Look at Mr money bags over here.BearsWiin said:
The view from Glacier Point is pretty breathtaking
Taking the Jungfraujoch train up into the mountain is pretty cool too
And hiking up to the Schwarzsee at the base of the Matterhorn

Was that the trip with the Balla twins? Did you join them in apologizing to everyone in Europe on behalf of all Americans?YellowSnow said:
