Would you add anything to the list?
An awesome list! Another great vista is through Canyonlands National Park’s Mesa Arch. Located in the park’s Islands of the Sky section, the arch is easy to reach via the 0.5-mile Mesa Arch Loop Trail. The arch frames a desert landscape from atop a 500-foot vertical cliff. Here’s a pan of that view at sunrise: http://hikeswithtykes.blogspot.com/2015/08/video-of-canyonlands-mesa-arch-at.html

Hey Rob! Glad you liked our post and thanks for your suggestion!
Though we’ve visited a bunch of national and state parks and other recreation areas in the US, we still feel we’ve barely seen anything. 😀 We haven’t been to Canyonlands either, but it’s definitely on our list. Looks like it’s really worth getting up early for that view!
