My favorite places for a good view of the skyline:

- Turkey Mountain where Elwood bends at W. 61st and on one of the trails above the water treatment plant
- In The Raw 'on the hill' above 61st & Sheridan
- Old North Rd. in Sand Springs near 81st W. Ave.
- Reservoir Hill on Woodrow Pl.

What are some others?

My favorite is from the west side of the river by the amphitheater.  You can include the river and you get some great architecture in there.

This is not the best one I've got but I had it on my phone from last year.

If you angle back South of my location you get some wonderful shots.

The view from the pedestrian bridge and west bank near the amphitheatre is probably the 'best' of all spots because you get the river in the foreground and the skyline in the background.  I'm looking for less well-know places that may even be hard to get to.

From a rowing shell on Zink Lake between SW Blvd. & 23rd.  Turkey Mountain on a mountain bike is a close second.

On top of the big blue water tower at 73rd and Yale at night, but it's been about 20 years since I made that climb.

Well shoot dude, you didn't say that.

Chandler Park is a good one, as is the bluff at Post Oak Lodge

Evening as the sun sets, sitting in a kayak/canoe going downstream on the Arkansas River just as you pass the western end of Chandler Park. The city skyline comes into view and reflects the orange setting sun which then reflects onto the water in the foreground. It keeps changing the farther you continue eventually including the towers of the refinery, University Club towers and the bridges. I never tire of it.

Not hard to get to but the view coming west on 6th St. from Utica Av.

We took this last year on our canoe trip with Waterboy - wonderful views.
