You have just embarked on a spectacular journey along the Enchanted Highway! Consider this road a gateway to larger than life wonders, where you will experience vast prairie and expansive sky, sunken boats and stagecoaches, and best of all: the world’s largest scrap metals sculptures. These sculptures were designed and built by Gary Greff to reflect the history and values of people living in North Dakota. When he began the Enchanted Highway project, Gary had never taken an art class or learned to weld. He simply believed that small towns were valuable, and that he could create something that would make people from near and far want to visit his small hometown of Regent, North Dakota. He says, “I always felt that our country was not built on big towns, but on small towns and every individual person that worked there.” Gary’s hope is that visitors like you along the Enchanted Highway will recognize all the magic that small towns and places off the beaten road have to offer.

Geese in Flight. Your journey along the Enchanted Highway begins here, at “Geese in Flight,” the world’s largest scrap metal sculpture as recorded in 2001 by the Guinness Book of World Records. Made up of over five miles of oil well tanks and pipe, which Gary had to drive over with a tractor in order to flatten, “Geese in Flight” stands at 110 feet tall, 150 feet wide, and weighs 78.8 tons. The sculpture, which depicts a flock of geese soaring across the sky with rolling hills beneath it, took about six years to complete and required five cranes to lift it and put it into place making it the most expensive sculpture for the artist to create.
