Winner
Delicate Arch, Arches National Park • The 45-foot-tall arch is every bit as magnificent as you've heard. Even if it weren't there, the bowl-shaped amphitheater offers great views of the surrounding redrock and La Sal Mountains.
First runner-up
Mount Timpanogos • The trail takes you through trees and rocks until you reach spectacular views of Salt Lake and Utah counties.
Second runner-up
Angels Landing, Zion National Park • Yes, it's steep and a little scary. But keep steady and you'll have a one-of-a-kind view of southwest Utah and a national park.
