This is a really interesting stop off of the beaten path if you have time. It was free but I think they were taking donations.

The work of Leonard Knight is something amazing. After the first time I couldn't help but take others to experience the determination of one man and his devotion for god. The place was even better when Leonard gave us a tour and spoke to us about his relationship and philosophy about love,life, and god.

If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and see this most odd creation. But definitely not worth a trip more than fifteen minutes out of your way.

He does not try to convert anyone to any religion except... More

We got a late start and made it to Salvation Mountain... More

I would reccommend traveling the distance from Palm Springs to see this. A nice half a day trip around the Salton Sea and about 3 miles from the town of Niland, it was worth the effort. Mr. Leonard Knight , the builder of this mt., if there, will greet you with a rousting 'hello" and a friendly tour. You can... More
