No trip to the Salton Sea is complete without a quick trip to Salvation Mountain at the foot of Slab City. Salvation Mountain is sort of a man made monument to the idea of love. Sort of a welcoming post to the hippy lifestyle of Slab City. The mountain was constructed by a man named Leonard Knight, who at this point in his life probably goes about 80yrs. He is really nice and welcoming. He is a religious man and his mountain is painted in a way that supports that, but deep down he doesn’t care what religion someone is. Doesn’t really preach to his guests. And only asks that people love each other and treat people kindly. The mountain is a popular draw especially considering its remote location.
