God
loves everyone.
Salvation Mountain is
a colorful artificial mountain north of Calipatria, California,
near Slab City. It is made from adobe, straw, and thousands
of gallons of paint. It was created by Leonard Knight
to convey the message that God Loves Everyone.
Leonard Knight has been painting and repainting his bright
Biblical messages on the sides of Salvation Mountain since
the 1985. On the arid flats east of San Diego, his mountain
pokes up into the bright sun. Odds are you'll get excellent
photos, and Leonard will be busy repainting faded parts
of his vision. He requests that all donations be in the
form of paint, preferably acrylic.
Salvation Mountain continues to thrive and grow. Steps
carved into the mountain allow visitors to ascend to the
upper terraces. You can pretty much climb anywhere you
like for a photo opportunity. Just bring some paint... |
