NPS Alphabet Game!

“Trailtalk is like one big car trip in an extremely large van. It's filled with unlikely stories and sleep-inducing games. So, with that in mind...

Each letter of the alphabet (except 'x') has a national park - see www.nps.gov/parks.html for a list. Is anyone out there able to recite a complete alphabet of national parks you've visited? X, of course, is a freebie.”

“Oh, BTW, the game includes all NPS sites, not just technical "national parks".”

22 for me.I'm missing 4 H,I,Q, and U.

I'm guessing Q is going to be a bit difficult unless you live the the northeast.”

“Voyageur NP is my preference for V.

Quetico Provincial Park of Ontario borders Minnesota. Does it count? Years ago I saw a MN road map that seemed to include a US extension or counterpart of the park in MN. It was probably an error in my reading.”

“Here's my best shot at Q:

from http://www.nps.gov/qush/index.htm

there is:
Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor

in northeastern Connecticut and south central MA has been called "the last green valley" in the
Boston-to-Washington megalopolis.”

Haleakala National Park, Located near Kula, Maui, HI.

Independence National Historical Park. Located in Philadelphia, PA.

Ulysses S Grant National Historic Site, Located in St. Louis, MO”

“Yep, that's the Q that I was referring to.”
