The view from Glacier Point is pretty breathtaking
Taking the Jungfraujoch train up into the mountain is pretty cool too
And hiking up to the Schwarzsee at the base of the Matterhorn
Zermatt is awesome. Did a similar hike to yours back in HS in the mid 90s.

Was that the trip with the Balla twins? Did you join them in apologizing to everyone in Europe on behalf of all Americans?
Prepare to be underwhelmed. I have been a lot of beautiful places including most of those listed here already but...
One place I really liked was the Alpine Fault. This fault is a transform boundary between the Pacific plate and the Indo-Austrlian plate so you can easily stand on two continents at once.
This isn't anyone I know but this picture looks like the same/similar location as my favorite time climbing on the Alpine Fault.
I also don't know if this counts as visiting a geologic feature but when I used to work in oil it was a blast going offshore and checking out the cuttings circulating up the hole to see how mypredictions of 20k+ feet beneath the surface compared to reality.
To throw you a bone though, somewhere cool I went this past October was the Cliffs of Moher

Similarly, Devil’s Bridge in Antigua was a fucking blast. Climbing to the top and seeing the dark blue Pacific to one side and the light blue Caribbean to the other. Then you climb down and walk through a whirlpool where the two waters meet. Pretty cool to be in two bodies of water at the same time.

I never know the Caribbean and the Pacific met anywhere.

That's some cool geology but some really whooshed up geography.
