    Lower Flat Top Drive in Mesquite, Nevada is a scenic paved road best known for hosting a quirky collection of handcrafted sandstone rock carvings.
    Located about 2 miles north of the interstate, it features intricate folk-art figures expertly carved directly into the compacted desert sand banks on the right side of the road. Created by local artist and former Olympian Pete Karns, the installation spans roughly 3/4 of a mile. Notable carvings include miniature replicas of Mount Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, Easter Island Heads, a Sphinx, and a tribute to the Vegas Golden KnightsRead more
