Big John Giant Coal Miner

Helper, Utah

Standing 28 feet tall, Big John is a towering fiberglass tribute to the coal miners who built the historic town of Helper. Originally erected in 1964, this impressive Muffler Man variant stands holding a giant shovel outside the civic center. It remains one of Utah's most beloved and photographed roadside giants.
