Just like similar cutouts of Bigfoot across the country, this can give you quite a scare when seen through the corner of your eye while night driving. Amusingly, the silhouette is perched above a graveyard.
[Harmon, 07/21/2023]Built as promotion to the first Dinosaur Days in 2001, the giant 30-ft. long steel silhouette of a T-Rex can still be seen along Highway 12 east of the tiny town of Marmarth.
For such a small town, Marmarth is jam-packed with Roadside kitsch. Once a year they have Dinosaur Daze, which celebrates the area's rich Hell Creek formation; in September they host the cowboy poetry contest, which draws cowboy poets and quilters from around the Midwest and they have a pretty darn good car museum as well.
