National Park Week Quiz #4: The Two-Step

National Park Week Quiz #4 is a bit unconventional, so be sure to follow the instructions carefully. If you can provide the name of the correct national park before 12:00 midnight EST today you will be eligible for Traveler’s National Park Week prize drawing and a chance to win a National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map for the national park of your choice.

First

Identify national parks that can be matched with these four descriptions.

1 - A park that has a loop drive and a mountain with a car's name
2 - A park that has an active volcano and boiling mud pots
3 - A park that has famous fossils and a lodge built on Homestead Act land
4 - A park that has tide pools and mountain goats

Now

Take the first letter of each park's name and rearrange these four letters to spell out a word in a fifth national park’s name.

And

Before 12:00 midnight EST today, tell us the name of the national park identified in this way.

Answers and a list of readers who answered correctly will be posted in tomorrow's Traveler.

No cheating!

If we catch you Googling or engaged in other sneakery we will make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:

The set of 17 chemical elements known as the rare earths (and which are neither rare nor earths) consists of scandium and yttrium plus the 15 lanthanides – lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium.

Comments

Did my earlier post with my attempt not get through? Or was it so badly off the mark you felt it wasn't even worthy of comment?


Eric Nelson, to no one's surprise, has nailed it.


Celbert, I have no idea what happened to your attempted post. Perhaps the captcha gotcha? Send it again and we'll process it with all due dispatch.


Fiendish? Me? Flattery will get you everywhere, tomp2. You're in.


You nailed it, celbert. Now get back to work.


Kudos to toothdoctor. Nice goin'.


Good job, andclo03. You slipped in just under the wire (11:19 p.m.).
