Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I'm in a large National Park in Washington. Some of its main attractions are Hurricane Ridge, the Hoh Rainforest, and Ozette Loop. There are mountains everywhere, but not a volcano in sight. What National Park am I in?
2. Cruising down Highway 1, I weave my way through coastal mountains that offer many lofty views of the Pacific Ocean. In California, I go through the Redwood Forest, sail over the Golden Gate Bridge, and skid past San Francisco on my way to an area that features the Bixby Bridge and Hearst Castle. What is this surf-friendly portion of the coast called?
3. Now I'm heading east to see what I can find in the Mojave Desert. Boy, it sure is hot out here. The place I'm at now has signs pointing to Badwater Basin and Zabriskie Point. Where am I?
4. Great horny toads, I'm up north! I accidentally took the wrong road and ended up in a place that shares the name of a gun-toting cartoon character. I think we all know I'm in Yosemite, but what's the name of the 3,000 foot monolith featured as its main attraction?
5. Now I'm back in the desert traveling through southern Utah, but I've gotten lost in a strange place called The Maze. It's part of a larger territory that has natural arches, an "Island in the Sky", and an even weirder area known as The Needles. Help me out here; where am I?
6. I think I've seen this place before. Its distinct mesas and buttes have been in the backgrounds of many Hollywood westerns. What place on the Utah-Arizona border am I passing through?
7. In southeast New Mexico I wander into a cave that descends a thousand feet into darkness. At the bottom, large chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites are faintly glowing all around the path. Which underground wonder am I in?
8. Most people who think of South Dakota conjure up images of the Black Hills and Mt. Rushmore. But I'm in a place outside the hills, where sedimentary rocks that were eroded by rain and wind have formed ridges that are stratified in color. Where am I now?
9. Heading west now, I approach the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming. Just after crossing the Continental Divide, I can see a long range of snow-capped peaks that I suspect are just south of Yellowstone. Being the subject of the only National Park that is fully in Wyoming, what is this range called?
10. With its turquoise lakes and snowy ridges, the natural beauty of Glacier National Park in Montana is a perfect place to finish the trip. As I make my way up the Going-to-the-Sun Road I can see a pass up ahead, but I can't remember what it's called. All I remember is that it shares its name with the highest mountain in Canada. Where has this last leg of my trip taken me?
