The most famous terrestrial telescope is the 200-inch reflecting Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar near San Diego. This was for years the largest telescope in the world.

The Keck Observatory high on the Hawaiian peak Mauna Kea is more modern.

But my own personal favorite is the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton. If you live in the Silicon Valley, you can see the dome gleaming in the sun from almost anywhere in San Jose or Sunnyvale. The Lick Observatory is up a twisty windy little road, and the telescope isn't large by modern standards - but it is beautiful and historic.
