Majestically overlooking the land and Oak Creek, Cathedral Rock is revered by Native Americans as a home of gods and birthplace of the first man and woman. Rising toward the sky from a red sandstone base, the spires of Cathedral Rock inspire wonder and awe. Cathedral Rock is a natural landmark on the Sedona, Arizona skyline, and is one of the most-photographed sights in Arizona. The summit elevation of Cathedral Rock is 4,967 feet. Oak Creek, where it runs next to Cathedral Rock, is called Red Rock Crossing and considered a strong vortex as well as a sacred area in Native American history.
The California Coastal Trail connects to the rugged Batteries to Bluffs Trail and ultimately the more secluded Marshall's Beach. If you're looking for one of the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marshall's Beach gives you just that without the tourist crowds of Baker Beach. There's also a stretch of black rocks that offer some interesting composition choices for photographers. If you're here during sunset, as the waves pull back from the sand, it provides a beautiful reflection of the Golden Gate Bridge.
With panoramic views of lower Manhattan, this park was built to bring residents from Brooklyn Heights (dubbed "America's First Suburb") down to the waterfront. Situated south of the Brooklyn Bridge, the newer sections of Brooklyn Bridge Park were designed by landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh in 2005, and began opening to the public in 2010. They include many areas to walk or run above the water on concrete promenades, and countless places to sit on benches or fields while passively enjoying a cordoned-off view of passing boats. There are even a few areas to fish.
