Did you know there are some pretty big stalactites in the Lincoln Memorial? It's true.

I vote Hoover Dam.

Are you sure there not stalagmites?

Lincoln Memorial (when Lake Mead silts up and Bould, I mean Hoover Dam becomes a big waterfall, then I might reconsider.)

Forbidden City.

Near as I can tell from 5 minutes with Google Image Search, El Capitan is just a rock. Okay, bigass granite upthrust, but it's still a rock.

Forbidden City.

I was never that impressed with El Capitan. Half Dome is much cooler looking.
