The Best Views in America

Still, in our search for Americas best views, it was only natural to draw heavily from beautiful sites in the National Park system. Of course, were not alone in our desire to experience and celebrate views inside these protected areas: in 2013, nearly 300 million people sought inspiration in Americas 370 national parklands, including some 15 million who witnessed the iconic views in Californias Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

But the best views in America not only showcase national parks. They incorporate the magic twinkle of city skylines, the fortitude of rocky coastlines, and breathtaking discoveries found on easy walks, rugged hikes, and scenic drives across the nation. Anyone whos experienced the dramatic drops around Big Sur, CA, or basked in the glimmer of New York Citys skyline will certainly agree

Nice views, but such things are completely subjective.

such things are completely subjective

Exactly why getting feedback and respective form others is important when discussing anything.

Everything is subjective to some degree, even thediscussion ofempirical evidence and its relevance to situations.

At least you liked the scenery

Number one on my travel bucket list is to find X.

I spent two years in High School algebra looking, and never saw it once!

Great photos RIO.

Thanks.

Dear Friend RIO: Hope this shows up.

Photo of one of the eleven ice age glacial created Finger Lakes in upstate NY.

This one is the Keuka Lake. Keuka is a word in the Seneca Native American Nation language.

It means "crooked:.

If you stand on the summit of the highest western lake bluff, you see it in its entirety. It look like a crooked finger.

Here's a beautiful sight. Although the location and subject are great, the photo quality leaves something to be desired. What the heck, I was 15 when I took it.
