Vette e punti panoramici in California

Peaks and Viewpoints

This collection showcases California's diverse topography, from the granite cliffs of Yosemite's Tunnel View and the colorful mineral deposits of Death Valley's Artist's Palette to the coastal 80-foot drop of McWay Falls in Big Sur. It includes urban vantage points like the Hollywood Bowl Overlook and the Golden Gate Bridge Vista Point, alongside iconic landmarks such as the Hollywood Sign and Alcatraz Island. Visitors can explore the rugged terrain of Joshua Tree from Keys View or experience the Pacific coastline along the scenic 17-Mile Drive and the sea-lion-dotted Pier 39.
