Michael Heizer’s “City” is a masterpiece of land art tucked away in Lincoln County’s remote Garden Valley. 

Visiting “City” is a rare and highly sought-after experience, with reservations for the 2025 season opening soon.

Stretching 1.5 miles long and half a mile wide, this monumental sculpture blends ancient inspiration with modern minimalism. Built over a span of 50 years, it is a stunning fusion of natural materials and geometric design that immerses visitors in art and the Nevada desert landscape.

With registration opening Jan. 2, 2025, and only a handful of visitors allowed per day, now is the time to plan your visit. Tickets cost $150 for adults and discounted tickets are available for students at $100 each. Residents of Lincoln, Nye and White Pine counties can visit for free with a reserved spot. Visit https://www.tripleaughtfoundation.org/ for additional information about registration and site history. 

The site’s remote location adds to the allure, but travelers should come prepared. Wear layered clothing, sturdy shoes and bring water and snacks, as there are no facilities nearby. The drive is long and cell service is limited, so ensure your vehicle is ready for the journey. Once at the site, follow all guidelines to protect the artwork and its environment.

“City” is not just a sculpture but an experience that connects art, nature and history. The Lincoln County Adventure Center invites you to mark your calendars and prepare for an unforgettable journey into one of Nevada’s hidden treasures.
