From this hill you can see the small town of Green River, Utah, with the bookcliffs as its dramatic backdrop, and the interstate, and, of course, the large sculptures known as Ratio and Elements. As a local I enjoy going up this hill to watch sunsets. If you are in town and are looking for something to do in the evening I would recommend at least checking this place out. To get there: Turn South onto Airport road Carefully cross the tracks Immediately after the tracks turn right (West) down the dirt road (if you pass under the interstate you have gone too far, basically if you go 50 feet past the tracks you have gone too far), Follow this road to the top of the hill and enjoySee more..
4.0Big John Statue(26 reviews) - Quick stop not far off the highway Monuments & Statues
It's a giant miner in the middle of a small town. What's not to like? Seriously, it's worth a stop. Only takes a few minutes. It's a nice way to break up the drive from Salt Lake City to Moab. And, downtown Helper City is a quaint little town, so make the short detour if you're passing by.See more..
4.5Topaz War Relocation Center(22 reviews) - A Place in History that Should Never Be Forgotten Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
There may not be much left to see at the sight of the Topaz War Relocation Center, but if you're in the area, it would be worth your time just to drive to the site just to see how desolate, lonely and remote a place it really was for all the Japanese-Americans who were relocated here during WWII. This is some of the most barren land you will find anywhere in the USA. It could not have been easy for those who were forced to stay here. There are some remains left behind along with a few markers, and a short walk out into the ruins provide a good way to meditate on what it must have been like to live in this place. When we were here mid-day on a weekday in early July, there was not another car or person in sight, which only added to our experience.See more..
