Salvation Mountain

Calipatria, CA | 136 Miles

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. In this spirit… Salvation Mountain was born.

Built from discarded tires and windows, various auto parts, adobe clay mixed with straw, and thousands of gallons of donated paint, Salvation Mountain is a visionary work of folk art in the California Desert. Finished in 1989 by Korean War vet Leonard Knight, the completed piece was actually a second attempt after the original version, sculpted in 1984 and reinforced by sand and just a half a bag of cement, collapsed.

With over three decades of international critical acclaim, Salvation Mountain remains a profoundly strange and beautifully accessible national treasure.
