7 magic mountains

While we were on our SW road trip we drove 10 miles outside of Las Vegas into the desert to see Ugo Rondinone's public art installation, 7 Magic Mountains. This was one of the top things I wanted to see on this trip, and it certainly did not disappoint! The exhibit consists of 7 towers of stacked boulders all painted in bright, neon colors (pssssst...it took 5 years to make!). They really stand out against the brown of the desert and sneak up on you as you head out of the city. This installation is only there for 2 years (ending in May 2018) so please, please do yourself a favor and check it out if you are in the area!
