This one might seem impossible, but it's one of those places, where you'd only have to drive down this road once and you'll remember forever....

Other contributed puzzles have been as difficult -- it all comes down to whether or not you've been here before...
This is near a huge tourist destination -- but this road seems much fewer visitors -- but it's still a significant tourist road....

Las Vegas is the closest major city and it's near a national park....
I don't remember seeing this, but in the spirit of eliminating possibilities: Titus Canyon road?
Nope it's not in a national park -- but near by one...but you did get the correct national park. Visitors familiar with Phoenix dactylifera L. might also know where this view was taken from...

Is that somewhere on the road to China Ranch?
This arch is most easily seen about 1/3 of the mile south of the turn-off from the highway, but you pretty much have to be traveling "up the road" to see it.
Here's a view of some of the China Ranch date palm groves -- with the stark desert hills behind:

Where was the photographer standing to capture this view?

That's the Moss Landing power plant, and I'm guessing the pic was taken from somewhere close to Santa Cruz, maybe Opal Cliffs?
George,
That was fast!
OK, Dan Sedenquist writes: "...the answer is at the edge of the Monterey Bay in front of the Pajaro Dunes development near the mouth of the Pajaro River, looking towards the Moss Landing power plant and the mountains west of Salinas".
Got one from my holiday trip to my brother's:

Wrong time of day for a "good pic", but it works here.
Clue:The building this is in was built in the 1920's, rebuilt after a fire after first being dedicated in the 1880's
