Have you Seen a Shoe Tree? - my first siting in California
RIP Shoe Tree, You Shall be Reborn - our discovery of a former shoe tree and a new one on Route 50 in Nevada
I was Here and I Left my Shoes - discovering yet another one in the California desert on a drive east to Arizona
You can find this shoe tree (which is quite large) along Deer Valley Drive near Heber Avenue, right next to a park in downtown Park City (which if you've been there you realize is not very large). I am not sure when this shoe tree was started, but I have seen several references to it being around for 30-40 years! There is even a plaque there about the tree (which I have not yet read). The unique thing about this shoe tree as compared to all the others I've seen out in the desert is that because this is a ski town, you will find a lot of snow shoes and boots in the tree. Check it out next time you are in Park City (perhaps for Sundance which starts next week...). Here are some shots I took. If you know of other shoe trees I should see, please let me know. I want to see them all!
