Spiral Jetty

Spiral Jetty is a work of land art constructed in April 1970, considered to be the most important work by American sculptor Robert Smithson. It is built on the northeastern shore of the Great Salt Lake near Rozel Point in Utah, entirely of mud, salt crystals, and basalt rocks, forming a 1,500-foot-long, 15-foot-wide counterclockwise coil jutting from the shore of the lake. The sculpture is sometimes visible and sometimes submerged, depending on the water level of the Great Salt Lake. The site has no facilities, and visitors are asked not to take existing rocks from the artwork, make fire pits, or trample vegetation. The place is family-friendly, but visitors are advised to keep their four-legged family members on a leash at all times and watch their step to avoid stepping in tar pits that emerge when water levels are low
