Salvation Mountain is a unique and remarkable artistic creation located in the same area as the Slab City community. Constructed over several decades by the late Leonard Knight, the mountain features a colorful, vibrant, and intricate design painted with messages of "God is Love." Despite its deteriorating condition, with the top of the mountain closed off due to safety concerns, Salvation Mountain remains a fascinating and captivating destination. Visitors describe the site as mystical, crazy, and a true labor of love, set against the stark, desolate landscape of the surrounding desert. While the colors may fade in the sun, the mountain's special flair and energy continue to inspire and captivate those who visit. Guests can explore the site, take photographs, and learn about the history and significance of this one-of-a-kind artistic achievement. Donations are welcome, and a friendly docent is often on hand to answer questions. Overall, Salvation Mountain is a unique and remarkable place that offers a truly inspiring and unforgettable experience for those who venture to this remote desert location.
Nice place to visit. It is located on the same street where Slab City is located. The mountain is deteriorating. They have closed the access to the top of the mountain because it is falling apart.
