Yellowstone has Old Faithful, in Yosemite looms Half Dome, and Arches has Delicate Arch.
Those are just three settings that are readily identified with national parks. But which view in the National Park System do you think is the most iconic of all when talk turns to parks?
Do you think of the bison that is on the Interior Department logo or on the National Park Service shield? What about the presidential images chiseled into Mount Rushmore?
Tell us, what is the most iconic image of the National Park System?

The Grand Canyon.
Hat is a great answer, as is Old Faithful itself.
Mt. Rushmore and Grand Canyon are iconic for sure, but I bet there are a lot of people out there who don't know that they are under the national park system. But I think Yellowstone is the iconic national park, and Old Faithful is the icon of that park.
Thanks Lee...you made me laugh during a day of endless online trainings!
Can't believe no one has put the image of the south rim of the grand canyon.
Actually, Rich up high put in a link to an image of mules heading down from the South Rim.
If it is any indication on how the interested public sees the NPS and the national parks, Wikipedia opens their List of National Parks of the United States with a poster of Old Faithful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_parks_of_the_United_States
For me, a Park Ranger in a flat hat symbolizes National Parks. Where else do you see that, except in a National Park?
