Serpent's Run
Across the plain from Crater Mound is the earthwork known locally as “Serpent’s Run,” similar in many regards to the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio. It is a series of earthen mounds that wind in a twisting, serpentine fashion, pointing towards (or away from) Crater Mound. Archeologists have attributed Serpent’s Run to several different prehistoric cultures but, ultimately, know little about who built the earthworks or why. Considered together, Serpent’s Run and Crater Mound have earned various juvenile nicknames from Midvale youth for their resemblance to reproductive cells, and Serpent’s Run has become a popular makeout site for teenagers from Midvale High.
