A roadside yard of bottle sculptures, free with a donation box. Reviewers stop for fifteen to thirty minutes. The ground is all dirt, so closed shoes; one saw no restrooms and says wheelchair access is limited. A friendly dog lives on site. Spotlights come on for evening visitors.
An iconic Route 66 forest of welded glass-bottle 'trees' topped with vintage junk. Self-guided, ~15–30 min, no restrooms — bring water.

This place was neat! Free, no tickets needed, but donations appreciated. When you start getting the creeps how far out you've driven from the freeway, you're almost there 🤣🤣 the sculptures were interesting and unique, which is exactly what we were looking for along Route 66!

It’s definitely an interesting and unique stop. The bottle tree concept is fun to walk around for a few minutes and take some photos. We stopped on our way from LA to Las Vegas, and it was worth the short visit because it was right along our route. However, I probably wouldn’t recommend making a special trip just for this attraction if it’s not already on your way.
