It really does look pathetic when viewed from any angle other than the touristy one they always use in movies. Kind of an apt metaphor for the US in general I suppose.
I actually never saw it from any other angle and I’m kind of relieved that it’s not as severe a defacing of nature.
If I remember correctly it’s a spiritually/culturally honored mountain so it really shouldn’t be there if anything, but hey. I thought they excavated and carved a much bigger area

I went there as a kid and remember thinking that it was much smaller than I imagined from photos.
