The answer is: Mt. Nebo

Deut 34:1

Moses, defined by his leadership and devoted guidance, had an extraordinary journey leading the Israelites from slavery in Egypt toward a land flowing with milk and honey—the Promised Land. However, his view from Mount Nebo always stirs up a blend of hope and melancholy. Watching his people prepare to enter without him must have been a poignant moment, highlighting themes of sacrifice and destiny intertwined throughout his journey.

Mount Nebo, approximately 2,600 feet above sea level, is thought to be the lofty perch where Moses took in a sweeping vista of the land he had sought to enter but could not physically embrace. Despite reaching this milestone at an advanced age, his profound influence echoed through generations. Here’s an interesting tidbit: On a clear day, visitors can indeed see as far as Jericho and the Dead Sea from Nebo—rendering Moses’s absence all the more significant when imagining the wild beauty he’d painstakingly led his people toward.

This moment also emphasizes the importance of authority in the narrative—Moses entrusted Joshua as his heir. It's a reminder that while our personal journeys may face interruptions, the fabric of leadership empowers those who follow. This "passing of the torch" symbolizes continuity and hope, very much the core of the fall and rise of the covenant community Moses cherished so deeply. It's a testimony that even in life's panoramas shaped by unfulfilled desires, we're part of a broader promise and story of redemption and hope.
