Niagara Falls, NY - Niagara Falls (Well, like, Duh)

And for you Canadians playing along at home:

Niagara Falls ON - The Horseshoe Falls

Isn't it the same thing?

There are three waterfalls. Niagara Falls and the smaller waterfall next to it. named Bridal Vail Falls, are located entirely within the United States. The largest of the three waterfalls, the Horseshoe Falls, (aka the Canadian Falls) is on the Canadian side of the US/Can border.

Don't know how recognizable they are to EVERYONE, but here's some that are iconic if one stays in the area for any length of time:

Agree with the previous poster that mentioned Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. Click Here-From Downtown Colorado Springs

and would have to add The Garden of the Gods also in the Springs Click here

Horsetooth Rock west of and over the skyline of Fort Collins, CO Click Here

Visible and iconic from Longmont, CO as well as from the Toll Monument up on Trail Ridge Rd, is Longs Peak and it's twin, Mt Meeker. Click Here-View from Longmont and Click Here-From Trail Ridge

Anyone and everyone who's ever been to Boulder, CO - The Flatirons. Click Here

The Royal Gorge Bridge outside of Canon City, CO Click Here

Mesa Verde National Park Click Here

And last but not least....The Flying Saucer House Click Here from Woody Allen's "Sleeper" movie...anyone who's travelled I-70 west of Denver, on Genessee Mountain has probably seen it.

The Western parks, the Oregon coast, the Ice Parkway, the Alaskan Highway, Kenai Peninsula AK, Valdez AK, Hyder AK, British Columbia - need I continue?

Thought of another one in Cincinnati, but you don't want to visit. Its official name is the "Fort Washington Way" but the locals call it the Third Street Distributor. And some other names that would be deleted on here. It collects both eastbound, westbound, northbound and southbound traffic from Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky onto about a mile long multilane expressway and "distributes" them to I-75, I-71 and I-471. The problem occurs when most people entering from the south are headed north and vice versa. And they all have to cross 6 lanes of traffic to their exit in that one mile. I haven't driven on it in years since I retired and no longer have to go to or from downtown in rush hours.

I did that very thing towing my fifth-wheel. Not fun. The Downtown Connector in Atlanta is only slightly better.

Most of my kin are from Anniston and Oxford...if you run into anyone named Ray or Ledbetter they're probably one of my distant relations.

In keeping with the theme of the post:

Lake Buena Vista, FL - Walt Disney World
Cocoa Beach, FL - Kennedy Space Center
Huntsville, AL - Marshall Space Flight Center
Nashville, TN - Ryman Auditorium (original home of the Grand Ole Opry)
