Salvation Mountain - California

During our travels through America, we came across some very interesting sights...
This grand tribute to God, has been evolving for decades by Leonard Knight and is located just a short way from Palm Springs in the desert of California.
Its 50 foot height and 150 foot breadth is made totally of local adobe clay and donated paint. Leonard, who is usually on site (even on the hottest days!) working on the project, is more than happy to give you a tour throughout the inside of the structure. To explore the outside, there is a yellow brick road to follow up and over the top. We felt as much on an adventure, as Dorothy did!

 It truly was a remarkable place, and you can't help but respect and appreciate this man's commitment of faith. Relying on donations and goodwill to feed himself and his helpers, and provide supplies for his life's work, Leonard is a testament to what you can achieve in one lifetime!
