A child's smile. The night sky. A thunderstorm or a rainbow. There are so many that choosing is impossible :)

That's a tough one, since I've had many. I'm going to exclude childbirth etc, since it seems you are asking about nonhuman wonders.
The Royal Gorge, glaciers, the view that goes on forever from the top of a mountain, the night sky in the desert, the Hale Bop comet, earthquakes, tornadoes, the roar of the surf during a hurricane, the serenity of a coral reef, ... and probably other things I've experienced but can't think of right now.
( I saw a double rainbow one time too. It was indeed amazing)

Hope.
JC, it has been my privelage to live in 47 states, some of them twice, and tour Canada and Mexico.
I have seen springtimes, and snow covered ground., I have seen valleys, mountain tops. My eyes have been blinded by both western sunsets and eastern sunrises. I have seen the high plains, the desert floor, the statue of Liberty, The Liberty Bell, Independance Hall, Mt Rushmore. I have driven on the Natchez Trace Parkway, The Blue Ribbon Highway, toured West Virginia coal mines, the Grand Canyon, I have seen the USofA.......It is Grand, it is a gift, I am fortunate to be an American..........it all dims in the light of hope.
I have seen hope in the face of the elderly who buries their spouse..hoping to see them again. It was there in the new Christian as they confessed the Lord. I have seen it in the face of a soldier who hopes for victory and a return home. It has been there in the bride on her wedding day, in the pregnant mother as she dreams of the child to be. I saw it in the faces of college and high school graduates as they stood ready to face the world as adults. I saw it in the kindergarten child as he entered the world of other kids. And I first saw it in the smile of a newborn........before their world was corrupted.
Hope...upon the face of a believer. It is always there in someone...........

Once, in the aftermath of a late-afternoon storm, I saw a double rainbow, one complete arc curving over another complete arc, with lightning flickering between the two. It lasted a surprisingly long time, about 15 minutes. I remember the date because it was my son's birthday: April 11. He felt that it was a birthday gift from God!

Wow, hard to choose...just the first three answers brought pictures to my mind that are so vivid, it is hard to choose.
If I had to choose, I'd go with caveman...I can't imagine anything more awe-inspiring than my first glimpse of my son when they laid him on my chest in the hospital...wow...talk about a life-changing moment...I can't even describe the love that overwhelmed me in that instant.
Zero Cool has a point...though I think the sunsets in New Mexico are prettier than they are in Arizona...when I think about awe-inspiring sights in Arizona, I think about the Grand Canyon.

The Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina.
I am always awe-struck and peaceful there.

I was at a Christian rock festival and the sky was clear and blue- Rebecca St. James was playing....we looked up, and there were two wispy clouds forming a cross above the crowd. It was the coolest thing!!!
