mirando hacia la hermosa lejanía
El momento decisivo es cuando a un chimpancé llegado al refugio se le abre la puerta de la jaula. ... Uno de ellos, ya muy viejo, sale con pasos torpes de la jaula
... algo más antiguo que su memoria se despierta ante la visión del árbol, y el chimpancé viejo da un salto, y poco a poco asciende hasta la copa, y se acomoda en ella mirando hacia la hermosa lejanía, gimiendo de felicidad.
(Antonio Muñez Molina, 1956- "Nuestros semejantes")

the beautiful distance
"to look into the distance" is a standard expression. I see no reason to translate "hermosa" in any other way than directly.

As I look off into the distance
Watching the sun roll on by
Beautiful colors all around me, oh
Painted all over the sky
The same hands that created all of this
They created you and I
