Almost nobody knows about this, but there is a 1:1 replica of
Stonehenge in the Washington expanse of the Great Basin Desert. Make
your way to the east end of SR-14 and go west, if you hit the gorge,
you passed it.
Be warned: The signs on the highway do *not* mention that it's a full
scale replica of Stonehenge (in the correct orientation even), just
that it's a World War II memorial.
Wikipedia mentions this in the Replicas section, I've been there twice
(once with family, once on my high school junior trip in the middle of
summer on a school bus with no air conditioning).
