Most iconic feature of each state

[Flint1979]

I don't think I have ever seen a thread like this. I think Michigan's most iconic feature is rather easy.

[Max Rockatansky]

Many people would probably say the Golden Gate Bridge or Big Sur for California, I say Yosemite Valley.  Arizona is the Grand Canyon by a significant margin.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with the Notre Dame Golden Dome a close second.

[TheHighwayMan3561]

Minnesota   

[Roadgeekteen]

John Hancock Tower maybe

[ozarkman417]

gateway to the west

Well if you wanna use something other than the Florida Citrus Tower or Disney World it would have to be the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.

7 Mile Bridge might have something to say about that.  Even the Southernmost Point Marker would be a strong contender.  Even something like the Everglades as a natural feature is far more defining of a feature.

There was a "Most Iconic Highways" thread not long ago.  For Nevada, it's The Strip.

But a feature wouldn't necessarily be a highway...although it could be.

As long as the feature doesn't have to represent the entire state (a problem with a divided state like Washington), I'm sure the Space Needle would be Washington's most iconic feature.

Geographically? Mt Rainier is on our licence plates, and it's visible from both the west and east sides of the state, so that might be a more fair nomination.

For roadgeeks, perhaps the Lake Washington floating bridges, or even the Hood Canal floating bridge. Second place, or perhaps even first, would certainly be the Narrows Bridge, given its history of not always staying put.

I would say the Liberty Bell for PA.

Lambeau Field for Wisconsin?

Heh, I get the difference, just found it amusing that a road would serve as the obviously right answer here.  "As announcers our job is to tie it all together", as Vin Scully would say.

And the number two probably would be the Hoover Dam (which probably would be the case for Arizona also) which also is well renown old US Route alignment.

I would also consider the Hollywood sign for California.

Lambeau Field for Wisconsin?

A few years ago on one of my baseball road trips I saw some Oakland A's games in Milwaukee, and with some of the time between games I drove up to Green Bay and did the Lambeau Field tour.  I loved that, I will never see a football game there but it was a terrific experience for a sports fan, and if you have the chance well worth the money.

That's more representative of Los Angeles and it's association with the entertainment industry.

I wonder what state has the least recognizable most iconic feature?

I'm drawing a blank on what would be good for Connecticut and I lived there for six years.  I can think of some stuff like the Merritt Parkway but nothing that really encompasses the whole state.

I looked up top attractions in Connecticut and got Mohegan Sun and the Mystic Seaport. Yeah... not much.

Mystic came to mind but just never really did it for me.  Most people I know associate it more with an average 1980s movie.

For Utah I think you'd have to go with Delicate Arch

[Rothman]

Statue of Liberty
