Salt Flats Nessie

If you blink you miss it! It is definitely small and you're not really able to pull off. It's just a small shoulder.

Difficult to see and gone in the blink of an eye -- just like the real Loch Ness Monster.

A sight for your sore eyes after staring at the white landscape. "Emergency stop only" signs.

Salt Flats Nessie

Driving west from Salt Lake City toward Nevada you'll see Salt Flats Nessie. She's at MM 21, on the right side of the highway. You can't miss her. Made of old tires, she is repainted frequently and you can see her for quite a ways when approaching. Nessie is west of the Tree of Utah, and between the two there is also a shark coming out of the salt water.
