	I've just realized that I know a bunch of national monuments, national historic sites, national preserves, and even a national seashore, but very few national parks. This is a great quiz, though! Maybe we could do one with some of the other places run by the national park services?

	Mt. Should be acceptable for Mount.

	Chiaprofessor:	Nov 8th, 2008 at 16:12 GMT	-1 points
	I think Volcanoes should be acceptable for Hawaii Volcanoes.

	Parks that span multiple states should only be counted once. Why not say that Yellowstone is in Wyoming/Montana/Idaho or even just Wyoming, which is where most of the Park is? Likewise, the overwhelming majority of Death Valley NP is in California; Great Smoky Mountains NP is split evenly between TN and NC.

	@wvu: i think the battlefields you're referring to are considered 'national historic sites'. i second the idea for a quiz on those as well.

	@wvu: Harpers Ferry is a National Historical Park, not a National Park.

	Missing NP of American Samoa and US Virgin Islands NP.

	Thank you, Mom and Dad, for taking all of those long road trips to National Parks when I was a kid. I just rocked this quiz. : )

	I always find it strange that Grand Teton is generally considered the greatest of the nationals parks and so few people know about it.

	sevorak:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 00:02 GMT	-1 points
	Why not just "Lassen" for "Lassen Volcanic"?

	JeffS:	Nov 26th, 2008 at 21:20 GMT	4 points
	Seriously, only 67% get Grand Canyon?

	Adirondack Park isn't a national park. I dont thinks its maintained by the national park service.

	some_guy:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 11:02 GMT	4 points
	Where is South Park?

	GeminiNL:	Jan 16th, 2009 at 09:53 GMT	0 points
	Wow, I suck. Only got Yosemite, Yellowstone, Everglades and Grand Canyon. Even tough I'm not from the US, I should have got more.

	26. Not bad. I only got the "other" Wyoming one because thats the name of the street I grew up on.

	I've been watching too much West Wing. I actually tried Big Sky.

	StuD 89 is technically wrong. Independence Hall is part of Independence National HISTORICAL Park, which is small but does include several acres of outdoor area in central Philadelphia. There are many other National Historical Parks which don't appear here and belong in a separate quiz.

	StanD:	Jul 12th, 2009 at 08:27 GMT	12 points
	In my opinion, this quiz belongs in the geography section, rather than entertainment.

	orbit:	Jul 29th, 2009 at 15:12 GMT	7 points
	@Jeff, yes you're right. American Samoa and U.S. Virgin Islands are missing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_National_Parks_by_state

	davidr:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 22:23 GMT	6 points
	@isaac: It's Mt Rainier. And the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is called just that: naming landmarks within it isn't enough, just as `El Capitan' isn't enough for Yosemite and `Longs Peak' isn't enough for Rocky Mountain NP.

	jUNKIEd:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 04:07 GMT	4 points
	They've added a lot of national parks since the last time I looked them up or visited. I gotta catch up.

	Adirondack is a New York State Park.

	theres no arguing over the fact that the us has the best national park system in the world-mostly because of its variety, extensiveness, and age. its especially larger than other countries because of its national seashores, lakeshores, grasslands, forests, monuments, historic parks, and marine reserves.

	whatup:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 17:39 GMT	8 points
	what about American Samoa National Park and United States of America Virgin Islands National Park?

	ef232623:	Apr 5th, 2010 at 18:38 GMT	10 points
	Agreed.. American Samoa and Virgin Islands are legitimate units in the National Park Service and should be listed here.

	kept trying big basin instead of great basin...sigh.

	TheBestDRose:	Oct 28th, 2011 at 22:03 GMT	3 points
	what about American Samoa and Virgin Islands? They're still party of US, you know... Also, my last name, is Basin. hahaha

	walkalong:	Mar 15th, 2012 at 00:28 GMT	2 points
	a quiz should be made where you guess the national park by a picture of one of its landmarks

	kbweezer:	Mar 16th, 2012 at 15:25 GMT	1 point
	It would be rather nice if you accepted Kobuk for Kobuk Valley, or Lassen for Lassen Volcanic.

	Ross:	Mar 29th, 2012 at 22:17 GMT	1 point
	Repeating the point - Virgin Islands and American Samoa are both National Parks, and need to be on here.
