Another look at a magical art installation
Located in the desert near Las Vegas, Nevada, “Seven Magic Mountains” by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone features seven towering stacks of locally sourced boulders, each painted an eye-catching dayglow color. The totems stand 30 to 35 feet high and are visible from Interstate 15, the major highway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, creating a visually stunning effect for travelers against the desert backdrop.
“Seven Magic Mountains” is one of the largest land-based art installations completed in the United States in the last forty years. About 325,000 visitors explore it annually, drawn by its surreal beauty and thought-provoking concept.

Amidst Nevada’s desert vast, where cacti whisper secrets past, Seven Magic Mountains rise, in hues that dazzle mortal eyes.
Fluorescent stones, stacked high and bold, like candy towers, stories told, they beckon travelers on their quest, to ponder life and take a rest.
“Are they art?” some skeptics say, “or roadside oddities at play?” Yet mystification fills the air, as colors clash without a care.
“I’ve never seen a sight like this!” exclaims a child with pure bliss, and so, Ugo’s magic stands, a vibrant wonder in the sands.
So next time you’re near Vegas’ glow, seek out these rocks that brightly show, a touch of whimsy, joy, and glee, in Seven Magic Mountains, be free! 🌈
