Most of us throw away or recycle used glass bottles, even the colourful ones, right? However, Elmer Long came up with a much better idea. He decided to use space on his property, in Helendale (Oro Grande,) to build a bottle tree ranch. This is a really colourful form of art that is also a popular attraction. Or you can see the colourful and large hit attraction that is the Cadillac Ranch, in Texas, with stretches of Cadillac’s covered in funky graffiti rising majestically out of the ground in a cool piece of modern art. There are plenty more hit attractions for you to experience throughout the beautiful journey.
