vista points
Designated panorama spots
Vista points are designated locations—typically along scenic highways or at elevated overlooks—where travelers can stop to take in a panoramic view.
The term is most common in the American West, where highway signs direct drivers to pullouts offering views of canyons, valleys, or coastlines: We stopped at every vista point along the Pacific Coast Highway.
