It is definitely still the sears tower! Willis just doesn't flow as nicely!
I absolutely love being on the top of really tall buildings and looking out and just being way above everything else and the view from up here is phenomenal! I would have given it a 5/5 for sure but it seems to always be really busy.. so busy that I had to wait or get bumped constantly just trying to see out the windows! Still worth it even though its a bit expensive!

This is personally one of my favourite places in chicago! It isn't too busy but is a really cool fountain with a great view of the cityscape behind it!
It is worth it to stay around for the big water fountain show! Also at night there are some lights that come on and it looks even better!
P.S. Its not too far from the Cloud gate (bean) so you can walk to it from there!

The views from up here are really really awesome. Your not allowed tripods (for the photographers among us) but if you go up just around sunset it will blow your mind! The actual skydeck experience is pretty cool but when I was here there was a 30 person line minimum for the entire 3 hours I was up here!
The experience is worth the wait and the views are worth the $$

This place is awesome! You can BYOB to the theater and its absolutely massive and there is tons to see. Highly recommend a stop here! This is also the location of the bean or cloud gate so you can knock two places off at the same time!

Parking is a nightmare on the streets so bite the bullet and park at the millenium garages for the day and just go everywhere from there!

Love the view from up here! It is one of the easiest awesome views that doesn't cost much and will still blow your mind! If your really lucky you will see some crazy people base jumping off of it!

Bixby bridge is like something out of a dream! After about an hour or so of driving through gorgeous big sur coastline you get to this bridge! The picture doesn't do it justice as you can hike just below it and when you look over the edge realize just how high up it is! Its definitely something worth making a trip for!

Jasper is an absolute treasure of a national park. The community and general feel of the people who live/travel here is always special to me! I have met some really good friends here! Anyways this is a place you definitely want to explore with friends if your into hiking as most of the mountain top hikes you can only do with a group as there is too much bear danger! That being said there is still a ton of stuff to see that isn't as intense of a hike to get to including hot springs, waterfalls, glaciers and a mountain top you can reach via gondola!
All in all a trip you would definitely not regret!

This is definitely a hidden gem as it can be rather difficult to find! I accidentally took a wrong turn and hiked 3 miles in the wrong direction! But once you find it...
WOW! is it ever a gorgeous waterfall! One of my definite favorites in the entire gorge!

Tofino is a surfing mecca if you don't mind the cold water! The town and community is one of the reasons I just keep coming back to this place! The wildlife and just general scenery are up there with the best of them as well! Its a tough spot to beat when it comes to culture and surf :)
