Near the entrance to Slab City. You can walk to the top. I guess it's art--depending on how you define art. But worth the visit!
I had been in California for about a year and came across a website called http://www.weirdca.com/ there is a couple different sites, but they are full of the weird! This little mountain is my first of the weird in California! You have to go! Enjoy.
The artwork is made from adobe, straw, and thousands of gallons of lead-free paint. Salvation Mountain was created by local resident Leonard Knight (1931–2014).[1] It encompasses numerous murals and areas painted with Christian sayings and Bible verses, though its philosophy was built around the Sinner's Prayer.
