Piggy backing off of @Doog_de_Jour 's off season, humble brag thread. For this week, I am thinking favorite geological feature...

I saw this a few years back. Was expecting to be underwhelmed. I was not. Uluru will blow your mind. Highly recommend if you ever get to the land down under.

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.

Not sure if this is the 'best'. But it mostly certainly the only one where I said to Mrs. Throbber, "Let's get the fuck out of here. This two foot wide trail between me and certain death is not a good time".

 
Mt. Saint Helens. While I think the mountain/park is worth a visit in its own right, seeing the surrounding areas that are still scarred by the eruption reminds you the power of Mother Nature:

The scum on the water is a nice touch. They've been discussing what to do with the lake since the 80's
