The National Parks Quiz - Neatorama

How well do you know US National Parks? Today's Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss will be easier if you've traveled a bit. You'll be given a park name, and you identify where it is. Good luck; I only scored 50%. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/46386

10/10. I guess it helps that I get paid to visit a majority of those.

The Western bias helped me as well (except I had to pay to go there).

Smarterthanyou, mentalfloss often uses photos that don't match up to the questions; it's just generic stock-photo art to liven up the page, but it's not intended to help you answer the questions.

I've only been to one of these, and the one I have been to, was in a state I used to live in. I'm so disappointed in myself.

90% for me. I'd never heard of Cuyahoga park so I just guessed.
