In South Dakota, one of the most striking roadside attractions is the 60-foot-tall Egyptian-style bull’s head at Porter Sculpture Park, which can be seen by motorists traveling along Interstate 90. This colossal sculpture is not only massive in size, weighing 25 tons, but it is also eminently visible from the highway, making it a distinctive landmark for the state (Atlas Obscura; San Diego Union-Tribune).

Porter Sculpture Park, where the bull’s head is located, features over 50 sculptures crafted from metal, showcasing the artist’s unique perspective. The bull’s head, in particular, took three years to build and is equal in size to the heads of Mount Rushmore, making it an extraordinarily imposing piece (Porter Sculpture Park; Wikipedia).

The park itself is a South Dakota treasure, where visitors can step into a world of metal marvels and explore the many fanciful junk art statues on the 18-acre grounds. Among the many sculptures, the tallest is the bull’s head, which dominates the landscape with its remarkable height and scale (Travel South Dakota).

Porter Sculpture Park is located near the unincorporated community of Rochford, between Hill City and Deadwood, and is close to the Mickelson Trail, offering both locals and tourists a unique and imaginative stop on their journey through South Dakota (973 KKRC).
