Your Top 5 Spots (Views)
What are you top 5 places or spots, because I'm not asking about a city or state I mean something along the lines of a scenic view or very specific experience like part of a river raft ride or it could be something from the arts or sporting event. Maybe top 5 Experiences would be better way to say it.

1) Summit of Agiocochook (when I climbed it with my son)
2) Summit of Mt Lafayette in Franconia Notch
3) Witnessing Moon rise over Mt Isolation
4) Skinny dipping with my son after a long hot hike in caribou-Speckled Wilderness ;)
5) The old Section of Visby Sweden

5. Interesting question
Ones that come to mind:

* Pali Lookout in Oahu
* Anywhere at Bryce Canyon, especially near dusk
* 18th hole at St. Andrews, looking toward the green and old clubhouse from behind the Swilcan Bridge
* Northwesternmost point of the continental United States in Washington, standing perilously on a tiny perch with Danger! signs all around, looking out on the lighthouse and rustling Pacific.
* Ring of Kerry in Ireland, or just about anywhere in Ireland, merely sitting on a hill and taking in the rolling spectacularly green countryside
