big rock candy mountain

harry mcclintock who was a brakeman working on the denver and rio grande railroad when he wrote this song i believe in the late 19th or early 20th century.in utah the hills in fishlake national forest are striped and rose colored,which became the inspiration for this song which was featured in the movie o brother where art thou.
