Steve Phayre turned me on to Google Sightseeing. This website is a collection of links to places and monuments that can be seen using Google Map's satellite imagery.

And, in the same spirit. Here are some places we went on vacation:
- Mt. McKinley (It's a touch overexposed, so I'm not sure I got the exact mountain)
- Denali National Park Visitor's Center
- Glacier Bay (Better picture from NASA)
- Skagway
- Juneau
- Ketchikan
