3 jaw-droppers for us (all via car or motorcycle):
- Approaching Las Vegas from the north (via 93 - talk about a long, lonely drive!) at night. Nothing for many, many miles......then off in the distance, we started to see a glow on the horizon that grew and grew the further we drove. Not that Vegas is some end-all kind of place necessarily but the visual was stunning given the virtually barren terrain we'd been driving across for hours.
- I-70 westbound into CO. Fairly uninvolving ride all the way from OH - we expected something spectacular once we entered CO. Not so. Yes, the terrain was changing gradually, then all of a sudden we could start to see the mountains off in the distance. It really did get spectacular the further west we rode!! The western states with all the mountains are absolutely beautiful.
- The Grand Canyon. It took three different trips there to finally catch it during nice, clear weather. Words can't begin to describe it.
