Wonders of America Trivia Stamp #5

SPOILER ALERT — READ TRIVIA POSTS IN ASCENDING ORDER. Enter "Wonders" and click on "SEARCH THIS BLOG" at the top of this page to find previous posts.

New Question on Stamp #5:

Where are the tallest sand dunes in America?

Hint: It has nothing to do with Days of Our Lives.

Answer will appear in post with "Stamp #6" in the title.

Answer to Previous Question on Stamp #4:

The largest glacier is the Bering Glacier near Cordova, Alaska. It is about 126 miles long and about 30 miles wide near its terminus. The glacier changes size with fluctuations in the weather and "calves" iceburgs into Vitus Lake.


On May 27, 2006, the U.S. Postal Service released the Wonders of America stamp collection. There are 40 stamps that feature natural and man-made wonders of the United States. The front of each stamp illustrates the superlative nature of a particular place or thing and the name or location of the featured wonder. Text on the back of each stamp provides relevant statistics and other interesting information.

For this game, I'll ask the question and in the next post of this series, give the answer and whatever other info that's on the back of the stamp.
