The Spiral Jetty, built in 1970, is located off Rozel Point, in the Great Salt Lake, West, of the Golden Spike National Historic Site. It is 1,500 feet long and 15 feet wide. For some, the Spiral Jetty is just, a big piece of cement and rock shaped like a spiral sitting in the middle of some salt water in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a bunch of old junk. For others, the Jetty is a “Mecca” to which appreciators from around the globe visit and toasts its beauty, its artistry, and its importance.
There are no gas stations and the last restrooms are at the Golden Spike National Historic Site. The road is extremely rough and a 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended. Please observe the private property notices on route.
How to get there;
Follow the signs at the Golden Spike National Historic Site heading west.
The Sun Tunnels, by Nancy Holt, are deliberately and strategically placed on the grounds of the ancient Lake Bonneville. The Sun Tunnels are a pleasant surprise in the middle of Western Box Elder County.
Completed in 1976, the Sculpture consists of four concrete tunnels that are laid out on the desert floor in an open X configuration, 86 feet long on the diagonal. Each tunnel is 18 feet long and has an outside diameter of 9 feet, 2.5 inches and an inside diameter of 8 feet. The tunnels are aligned with each other and with the angles of the rising and setting of the sun on the days of the solstice, around June 21st and December 21st. On these days the sun is seen on the horizon centered through the tunnels.
How to get there:
Get to Route 30 from either Interstate 84 (from Snowville, UT) or Route 223 (from Oasis, Nevada). Proceed on Route 30 to the Lucin cutoff (42 miles from Oasis, 83 miles from Snowville). Go south on the dirt road four miles to Lucin. Continue south from Lucin two and one half miles, and then bear left, going east. You should be able to see the Sun Tunnels pretty soon. Go another two miles, bear right, and go one and one half mile to Sun Tunnels.
