Tourist Guide

Welcome to Salvation Mountain. Please make sure you follow the yellow brick road as you walk through this man-made masterpiece. ------------- Salvation Mountain is a hillside visionary environment created by local resident Leonard Knight in the California Desert . As his tribute to God and his message to the world that "God is Love". ❤🙏
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.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,005 reviews)
This is the second time I stay at this hotel and last time was a good experience but not this time. I stayed in the renovated room by the pool and there were people making so much noise at 5-6am talking loud and shutting the heavy door really loud. It sounded like they were either cleaning or construction. ...
