I've actually been to three of the sites: Mt. Bonnell, Austin, TX; Dead Horse Point, Utah; and Columbia River Gorge, OR. I would love to visit more, and I would like to add one: Sunrise Overlook Point, WA. It is on the east side of Mt. Rainier, on the road that goes up the mountain to Sunrise Visitor's Center. There is a large parking lot where you can pull off and wander around. It's a perfect place for a picnic to take in the sights. Sunrise is showcased in this 3.5 minute video, with the overlook at the beginning of the video. Enjoy!

But I would add this one from trips we took to Yellowstone many years ago.
