On the peninsula at Rozel Point on Utah’s Great Salt Lake, Smithson created his most famous monumental sculpture using over six thousand tons of black basalt rocks and earth from the site.

Walking the spiral would be an almost meditative act similar to circumambulating or walking around a Hindu temple.
