Salvation Mountain is a hillside visionary environment created by local resident Leonard Knight in the California Desert.
California: Salvation Mountain
In the desert of California, Salvation Mountain stands, featuring numerous Bible verses and religious murals. The expansive work of art was created over the course of 25 years by Leonard Knight as a tribute to Christianity. As a now-iconic symbol for California, the scenic hill has been featured over the years in everything from Kesha’s “Praying” music video to the 2007 film Into the Wild.
