Most spectacular place you visited? I've been to a lot of places but

I'd have to say Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. With 72 waterfalls and steep cliffs and green pastures it was stunning. Walking through town it was fun to see such fat, happy cows with their decorated bells. It's a UNESCO world heritage site. I'm now looking for other places to visit... recommendations?

Here is an "indoor" waterfall that was pretty cool to visit on a hot summer day.

That's on my bucket list. My ancestors came from that area.

Pretty sure that’s in Pakistan based on my recent watching of MI Fallout.

Lauterbrunnen is the most spectacular, with the only close to comparable

You've hit probably one of the best ones for natural beauty, for sure.

In terms of touristy places, that's probably my #1 as well.

I've considered the rim-to-rim hike in the Grand canyon but it's pretty brutal

And if you come to Colorado for the Maroon Bells, one of my favorite places on earth is Hanging Lake.

You don't want to do the Holy Land with a tour group if you can avoid it.
