Very cool. Especially if you read the story.
[Sherri, 03/04/2023]We're accustomed to seeing crutches only displayed at miraculous healing shrines.
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!

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!
