For
the
Social
Media
Enthusiast
and
Photography
Lover
If
you're
all
about
social
media
and
capturing
cool
pictures,
Seven
Magic
Mountains
provides
an
excellent
photo
opportunity.
However,
if
these
interests
aren't
on
your
agenda,
you
might
consider
skipping
the
visit.
In
essence,
the
place
is
exactly
what
you've
seen
in
countless
social
media
pictures
–
a
collection
of
colorful
stacked
rocks.
Whether
you
view
this
as
art
is
a
matter
of
personal
perspective,
and
for
me,
it
didn't
leave
a
profound
impression.
Here
are
some
key
considerations
if
you
plan
to
visit:
Parking
is
free,
but
it's
about
1,000
feet
(300
meters)
from
the
installation,
and
the
ground
is
covered
in
gravel.
So,
it's
a
good
idea
to
wear
comfortable
shoes.
If
you're
in
a
wheelchair,
be
prepared
for
a
significant
effort
to
reach
the
rocks,
and
it's
advisable
to
have
someone
with
you
who
can
assist.
The
best
time
to
visit
is
at
dawn
–
you're
likely
to
have
the
place
to
yourself,
the
lighting
is
perfect
for
photography,
and
the
weather
will
be
cooler
(perhaps
even
chilly,
so
bring
a
light
jacket).
This
combination
of
the
desert,
the
installation,
and
the
sunrise
creates
a
magnificent
view.
Even
though
Seven
Magic
Mountains
is
only
about
30
minutes
from
the
Las
Vegas
Strip,
make
your
travel
arrangements
in
advance.
Don't
rely
on
hailing
a
cab
or
calling
an
Uber
at
the
site,
as
it's
not
a
viable
option.
Bring
your
own
car,
join
a
tour,
or
arrange
for
an
Uber
or
taxi
to
wait
for
you.
In
terms
of
the
visit's
duration,
it
typically
doesn't
take
more
than
30
minutes.
As
previously
mentioned,
there's
nothing
else
to
see
besides
the
rocks.
There
are
no
plaques
to
read,
no
visitor
center,
no
information
of
any
kind,
and
no
place
to
buy
coffee,
water,
or
food
for
miles
around
–
so
it's
wise
to
bring
any
provisions
you
might
need.
And
don't
forget,
there
are
no
restroom
facilities
on
site
either.
