Whether you're planning a proposal, celebrating an anniversary, or just want a memorable date, these overlooks deliver jaw-dropping romance.

Sunset Spectaculars

Hopi Point, Grand Canyon

The widest and most open view on the South Rim makes this the park's premier sunset spot. Watch the canyon walls transform through every shade of orange and purple.

Tunnel View, Yosemite

The most iconic view in America is even more magical at sunset when the last light paints Half Dome and El Capitan in warm alpenglow.

Na Pali Coast Lookout, Kauai

Dramatic cliffs plunging into the Pacific with the sun setting over endless ocean. Pure Hawaiian magic.

Sunrise Moments

Cadillac Mountain, Acadia

For part of the year, this is the first place in the US to see sunrise. Watch the sun emerge over the Atlantic together.

Haleakala Summit, Maui

Sunrise at 10,000 feet above the clouds is a bucket-list experience. Reservations required, so plan ahead.

Proposal-Worthy Spots

Mesa Arch, Canyonlands

The arch glows orange at sunrise, framing the La Sal Mountains and Colorado River. Incredibly photogenic for that "Yes!" moment.

Glacier Point, Yosemite

A 180-degree view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and two waterfalls. Accessible by car in summer, adding to its appeal for special moments.
