===Physical locations=== [[File:Big Rock Candy Mountain Marysvale Utah 19970724.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Big Rock Candy Mountain in Utah]] A cluster of brightly colored hills just north of [[Marysvale, Utah]], near the [[Fishlake National Forest]], is named the "Big Rock Candy Mountain". In 1928, after the song had been released, some Utah residents jokingly placed a sign at the base of the hills labeling it the "Big Rock Candy Mountain", along with a sign next to a nearby spring proclaiming it "Lemonade Springs". The Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort<ref>{{cite web |title=Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort |url=https://www.bigrockcandymountain.com/ |publisher=Big Rock Candy Mountain |access-date=25 July 2012}}</ref> currently sits at the base of the hills offering lodging and an assortment of high adventure activities through Big Rock Adventure.<ref>{{cite web |title=Big Rock Adventure |url=https://www.bigrockadventure.com/ |publisher=Big Rock Adventure |access-date=19 February 2019}}</ref> The resort is also a major hub on the infamous Paiute ATV trail.<ref>{{cite web |title=ATV Paiute Trail |publisher=Visitutah.com |url=https://www.visitutah.com/things-to-do/motorized-off-road/paiute-atv-trail |access-date=2013-07-01 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190209085631/https://www.visitutah.com/things-to-do/motorized-off-road/paiute-atv-trail/ |archive-date=2019-02-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Christine |last=Wilkerson |url=https://geology.utah.gov/map-pub/survey-notes/geosights/big-rock-candy-mountain/ |title=Big Rock Candy Mountain - Utah Geological Survey |publisher=Geology.utah.gov |access-date=2013-07-01}}</ref> Other rock formations in the United States have also borrowed the name of the song; the largest exposed rock in the [[South Platte]] rock [[climbing area]] of [[Colorado]] is also called "Big Rock Candy Mountain" because of its colored stripes resembling a [[candy cane]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/North_America/United_States/Colorado/South_Platte_Area/Big_Rock_Candy_Mountain/ |title=Rock Climbing Routes in Big Rock Candy Mountain, South Platte Area |publisher=Rockclimbing.com |access-date=2013-07-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Brian |last=Hansen |title=Big Rock Candy Mountain |website=Climbing Boulder.com |url=http://www.climbingboulder.com/rock/db/south_platte/big_rock_candy_mountain/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081203173539/http://www.climbingboulder.com/rock/db/south_platte/big_rock_candy_mountain/ |archive-date=December 3, 2008}}</ref> Additionally, one of the peaks in the [[Capitol State Forest]] in [[Washington (state)|Washington]] State is named "Big Rock Candy Mountain".
