Salvation Mountain


After seeing a documentary of Salvation Mountain and once again in "Into The Wild", this has now been added to my list of places to go before I die.

When Leonard's truck broke down in the desert nearly thirty years ago he experienced an epiphany so intense that he decided to set up camp and build a monument to God in that exact spot. "God is Love," he says. "It's simple. You just hafta love god, and he'll love you back."

“This old chap painted a mountain!

The mountain is in Cali.

He calls it Salvation Mountain.

He sleeps in a cave inside the mountain.

His name is Leonard.

He gave me a tour.

His fly was down.”

–Adam
