    This thread is shit w/o @Mad_Son

    Prepare to be underwhelmed. I have been a lot of beautiful places including most of those listed here already but...

    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

    Middle, not youngest

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

    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?

    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

    Jungfraujoch train is THIS economy...Look at Mr money bags over here.

    Zermatt is awesome. Did a similar hike to yours back in HS in the mid 90s.
    Was that the trip with the Balla twins? Did you join them in apologizing to everyone in Europe on behalf of all Americans?
