Salvation Mountain, Slab City, CA
This was a really interesting stop while exploring Slab City. Salvation Mountain was the inspiration of Leonard Knight. He wanted to make a monument to God and when he found out about Slab City, he located the perfect site for his project. He worked on the project from 1984 until 2011.
Some of the mountain isn't accessible any more because of old age issues, but it is still a great place to explore. The latex paint used here is very thick and you can walk on the lower section. You used to be able to walk on the golden pathway all the way to the cross on top of the mountain. There are some old vehicles that also have Bible passages painted on them. If you ever make it out to Slab City, make sure to take the time to stop here and explore.
