I've always wanted to go and see this masterpiece of randomness but I never made it out to see it whilst I was living in Utah. Maybe someday I'll make a point t travel to see it.
A Little History: Swedish artist Karl Momen created the 87-foot high tree between 1982-1986. He financed the project himself to bring bold color and beauty to the stark, flat, salty landscape. The sculpture is made of 225 tons of cement, almost 2,000 ceramic tiles and five tons of welding rod, and tons of minerals and rocks native to Utah.
You can't miss it because it's right on the side of the road.
