@co-hoosier This reminded me of driving up Mt. Evans.  Thats a white knuckle drive.  I don't need to do that again.

1.  Switzerland, specifically Interlaken and Lucerne

Everything else pales in comparison...but I did think Great Wall and Summer Palace near Beijing were incredible, Argentina Patagonia was pretty cool in some areas, Bora Bora was beautiful, the view from the top of the Eifel Tower is awesome...

Heck, Fall foliage in various New England spots is spectacular as well.  There are some scenic pull offs driving over mountains from Northern Cali to Reno that are breathtaking.  And even some spots alongside the highway in West Virginia that are up there as well.  Ottowa around Christmastime is fairytale-like.

I live in Northern Indiana... pretty much everything impresses me.

Switzerland ain't got the Indiana Dunes though!

It's not beautiful in the traditional sense, but Pompeii is amazing. 

Grand Canyon stunned me into silence. 

When we took our kids to Yellowstone, we stayed just outside the East Gate. The day before we were headed in, there was a landslide that closed the East Gate, and we had to drive back to Cody, Wyoming, and go north into Montana and head for the Northeast entrance. Somewhere right along Highway 212, there was a scenic overlook. Damn. 

Some places in Red River Gorge, Ky.

Some places along the Blue Ridge Parkway. 

I had a religious experience one night at a place one bay north of Moors Marina on Kentucky Lake watching thunderstorms cross the lake down along the Tennessee line. 

@myteamisonthefloor the Grand Canyon made me tear up.  The most incredible natural place on earth.
