Salvation Mountain
This is one of the main attractions to the Slab City area. Salvation Mountain was the creation of Slab City resident Leonard Knight. This huge structure is made of adobe and hay. It is three stories tall and runs about two football fields in length. Knight started working on this project in 1984 and continued working on it until he became unable to work any more in 2011.
Knight's message was simple "God is Love." He wanted to share this passion with everyone who came here to visit and is said to give a tour to anyone that asked. Many Bible passages are painted on the structure there is a golden pathway to the top where the cross is located. At the base of the mountain, he created rooms where you could worship or meditate as you visited. If you ever get into the area, this is a must see.
