U.S. National Parks from space

Thought this might be of interest here, given Utah's representation on the list.

It's fun to try to guess the park from the picture without looking at the name. I got 10 out of 20, but some were really just dumb luck.

16/20 for me.

I won't say what the four were since I don't want to give anything away, but it was #2, #12, #16 and #20. After seeing the answer, I really should have gotten #12 and #16. #20 was harder because I thought there would be more ice. I thought the white stuff in #2 was snow/ice, so I really blew that one. :oops:

The sad thing for me is that I have been in three of the ones I got wrong. And not just driving through....I mean extensive time spent. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention when I was visiting or something.
