Green River, Utah: Ratio - A Pile of Big Blocks
"Ratio" is high-concept art in the form of a 44-foot-high pile of giant concrete cubes. The old blind man who paid for it said he wanted to have a hand in creating something immortal.
- Address:
- Airport Rd, Green River, UT
- Directions:
- West edge of the city. Visible on the north side of I-70. If you want to drive to the sculpture (four-wheel drive highly recommended) take exit 160. Drive northeast on Hwy 19 for 1.5 miles.

Try to catch this on a day it isn't raining and you don't need a four-wheel drive vehicle. I took my Jetta up there with no problems. It would be a little hard to find if you didn't have Roadside America.

We brought our Subaru Forrester up to Ratio, and there were no problems. It was a nice sunny day.
[Dawn, 09/14/2018]This is not just a random stack of blocks, it is arranged in a Fibonacci Sequence! A mathematical sequence of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. Great for sciency folks -- impress your friends.

You can see the blocks from I-70 as you pass the town.
[Joe Teeples, 07/21/2016]Having grown up in Utah, it sure looks like a Latter Day Saint Temple to me. Temples are usually white with a golden Moroni statue on top. Maybe there's no correlation at all, but it's absolutely the first thing I thought of when I saw "Ratio."
