Maintenance work this week will mean limited public access to Seven Magic Mountains.

Crews are onsite through Friday performing routine cleaning and touchups, according to a news release.

Visitors are advised to respect the work area and exercise caution, and barricades will be erected for the safety of the visitors, workers and the installation.

Seven Magic Mountains is located near Jean Dry Lake and Interstate 15 on public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

Comprised of seven towers of colorful, stacked boulders standing more than 30 feet high, the artwork opened in May 2016 and is currently slated to remain on view through December 2021.

I met Paul McCartney at The Mirage. Maybe “met” is stretching it. But we did swap greetings in June 2006, as he moved through a party on the pool deck.
