From the highway, you can't miss the giant Virgin Mary. It really is huge, easily the size of a small office building. There are kneeling pads set out for people coming to pray. The only sound you'll hear out there is the slow rumble of a train, or the wind.
They sell postcards of the Virgin Mary and the cliffside city of Pine Bluffs at the gas station across the road.
