Where is the best view in the whole world?

Question

I have seen some amazing views on my travels and was wondering what's the best view you have ever seen. Personally I like the view of Kings Canyon in Australia that can only be seen by swimming across the Garden of Eden and climbing up some rocks. Have you had to explore to get your favourite view like me?

Answer 1

Flying over the Amazon of Venezula at dawn. The white blanket of clouds were blown away by our plane to reveal the most beautiful view I've ever seen: A canopy of sparkling green emeralds with a wide river of chocolate snaking through backdropped by shades of pinks and reds that I have never see before. I thought I was in a viedo game and could hop from one cloud puff to another. It was pretty cool. Everyone else was sleeping so I was privleged enough to enjoy this magnificent view peacefully. Just my opinion. Kings Canyon must have been just as amazing.

Answer 10

I was watching the discovery travel and adventure one time. There is a segment where they showed a place in Vermont in one episode of Great Country Inns that I fell in love with. I would love to go to that place on the hill overlooking the picturesque town. It really took my breath away, and I'm just watching it on my 43 inches coloured TV, what more in reality.

Maybe one day, I'll be seeing it myself. Geez, the power of television.
