Many national parks have some sort of overlook, view area, or highway honoring Stephen Tyng Mather, first director of the National Park Service. Mather Overlook at Great Basin National Park in Nevada "offers a great view of Doso Doyabi and Wheeler Peak," with views looking toward the vast expanse of Utah beyond along the sides of the short gravel road to the overlook.
