We have driven by Hole N” The Rock several times as we have passed through but never stopped. I’m not sure how they got that jeep up there on top of the rock or how it is being held in place, but cool.
This is an interesting tourist stop or trap, however you want to look at it. Originally this was someone’s house. It took Albert Christensen 12 years of blasting, drilling and chipping to create the 5,000 square foot home with 14 rooms. We didn’t take the tour, maybe next time.
This little compound has a Souvenir Shop.
A Trading Post.
A Zoo. Whew! And we could smell it!
A General Store.
Complete with the artifacts you might see back in the day.
Now for the entertainment and why I consider this a “tourist trap”. It is all about the corny artwork, displays and signs. It gives the site a carnival-like feel.
Check out the fortune teller machine. Yeah, I had to try it. Turns out I’m “royal” whatever that means.
Here are a couple of the crazy signs.
As for the artwork, I took a lot of pictures but here are displays I found the most interesting.
Jail House Rock.
Hillbilly lawn mower.
Rock(ing) Chair
Bigfoot. He is everywhere isn’t he?
Looks like a mind control device or something.
The COOLEST artwork was the Jeep! Perfect for Jeep and metal art lovers.
