About This Quiz
Let's face it, each state has something or some things that they are known for. Sometimes it's something intangible, like an accent or an attitude; other times it's things that you can reach out and touch.

Well, to prevent you from getting stumped, we have added some hints to help you guess what the right answer is.Â
So if you think you've got what it takes to correctly guess where these landmarks and natural wonders are located, take our quiz. Be sure to make your country proud!Â
