Commandments from the top.

World's Largest Ten Commandments

If you don't want to walk up the stairs you can drive up to the top of the Ten Commandments from a side road not clearly marked. I took the stairs and had to catch my breath a few times. Otherwise this is just one of those seeing it is believing it, mind blown.

Fields of the Wood entrance gate.

World's Largest Ten Commandments

Very inspirational and quiet surroundings. Don't get discouraged on the drive out of Murphy -- when you turn off the main road, it's about 10 miles on a secondary country road.
