Metaphor - Tree of Utah
Metaphor - The Tree of Utah, sometimes called the Tree of Life, is an 87-foot-tall sculpture that was created by the Swedish artist Karl Momen in the 1980s and dedicated in 1986. The sculpture, which is constructed mainly of concrete, consists of a squarish 'trunk' holding up six spheres that are coated with natural rock and minerals native to Utah. There are also several hollow sphere segments on the ground around the base. The sculpture currently has a fence surrounding the base to protect people from falling tiles.
Inscribed on the plaque are the words from Ode to Joy by Friedrich Schiller; also used as the chorus of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It has been said that Momen was moved to create the 87-foot-tall (27 m) tree after having a vision of a tree while driving across the desolate Bonneville Salt Flats.
Following the dedication of this work of art, Momen donated the sculpture to the State of Utah and returned to Sweden.

Shawn was a wealth of knowledge and a great tour guide. Stopped at Black Rock and hiked to the top for an incredible view. We enjoyed the conversation along the way. The Bonneville Salt Flats was so unique and beautiful! Shawn drove us to a spot in the flats where we had a little privacy to take a photos and checkout the salt. He has great communication throughout the process and we highly recommend Shawn as a private tour guide.

Driving on the salt flats. Shawn did a great job. We highly recommend this tour. Probably a good idea to give the guide an extra nice tip so that he/she can clean the salt out of and off the vehicle.

This review is overdue, but this experience was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! My 20 year old son and I were in Salt Lake City for a few days and when our skiing plans fell through for the day, we quickly pivoted and booked this experience. Shawn was responsive, communicated great and really set our expectations from the beginning. He was prompt and very informative. The scenery is simply breathtaking. Well worth the trip and truly unique! The pictures we took will last a lifetime and it was truly a special moment that I got to share with my son. Seriously, the pictures are amazing! Not only that, but Shawn is really great company and easy to engage in conversation. We were so happy with our last minute trip and couldn't have asked for a better tour guide! Highly recommended!!
