scenic overlook
Roadside panorama spot
A scenic overlook is a designated spot—usually a widened shoulder or small parking area along a road—where travelers can stop to view a landscape.
Overlooks are placed at points offering particularly striking vistas: mountain panoramas, canyon depths, coastal expanses.
We pulled off at every scenic overlook on the drive through the national park.
