Wonders of America Trivia Stamp #13

SPOILER ALERT — READ TRIVIA POSTS IN ASCENDING ORDER.

New Question on Stamp #13:

Where is the tallest waterfall in America?

Hint: It's not when Geena Davis' water broke.

Answer will appear in post with "Stamp #14" in the title.

Answer to Previous Question on Stamp #12:

The largest desert in America is the Great Basin. The Great Basin covers an area of roughly 190,000 square miles, mostly in Nevada. This desert region is actually a series of basins, sprinkled with sagebrush, and mountain ranges. Increased precipitation at higher elevations supports numerous plant and animal species.


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.
