2. What is the most visited National Park in the U.S?

3. What state has a monument with 4 famous heads on it?

4. In what state is the Grand Canyon located?

5. What famous landmark is located near water in the nation's capitol?

6. In what state is the Alamo located?

7. What city is referred to as "the gateway to the west?"

8. In what states are United States coins minted? Name the cities.
Hint: There are 3.

9. What city is referred to as the "Motor City?"

10. What year did Tennessee become a state?

Good luck. I'll be back in a few days and check to see how many of you know about the USA and if there are any responses.

1. Rhode Island

2. Yellowstone

3. South Dakota

4. Arizona

5. This could be a trick question. The Washington Monument and the Lincoln memorial sit on opposite ends of the reflecting pool, but I think what you're looking for is the Jefferson Memorial

6. Texas

7. St. Louis

8. Philadelphia, Denver, Washington DC

9. Detroit

10. 1793?

The trick to this question is where do they mint coins. I'm not sure where all they do.
