natural scenery

Untouched terrain views

Natural scenery is the visual landscape of the outdoors—mountains, forests, coastlines, valleys—as distinguished from urban or human-made environments.

The phrase emphasizes aesthetic appreciation: We stopped to admire the natural scenery.

It often appears in tourism contexts describing what visitors come to see: The park is known for its dramatic natural scenery.
