Very cool. Especially if you read the story.
[Sherri, 03/04/2023]The rest area at mile 135 eastbound has access to the sculpture, as well as an amazing vista of city and surrounding mountain range. Bathrooms were clean, dog relief area, and beautiful stone picnic structures make this a great stop!
[Jennifer, 07/28/2020]Not only is the Recycled Roadrunner worth a stop, but the rest area has covered picnic tables with a view. Also, the restrooms are clean!
[Janet, 03/16/2019]Stopped 3/27/2017. Had no idea he was here. Close up he's looking a little worse for wear, but still made the stop more interesting on our drive thru NM.
