God overturned the colorful box

God spilled the palette. And so, Salvation Mountain was born. ⛳️Salvation Mountain is located in the southeastern part of California's Colorado Desert, near Slab City. The MV for 'Fly' by Jessica Jung was filmed here! ✅This is a true fairy tale about love and faith in one's life. It has been selected by 'Lovely Planet' as one of the must-visit attractions in the United States. 1⃣It is in an unmanaged desert area with no police presence, inhabited by fugitives, eloping couples, and vagrants. The existence of such an artistic site is truly surprising, and all credit goes to the creator of Salvation Mountain, Leonard Knight, a Vietnam War veteran, an artist, and a respectable old man who spent 24 years painting the entire mountain in memory of his late wife. 2⃣Salvation Mountain is made of adobe and straw, then painted with a lot of paint. Its colorful graffiti covers the entire mountain, and most of the patterns are related to religious themes. Its iconic design is a red font that reads 'God Is Love'. ⚠️Tips: 1⃣Bring plenty of water and snacks in advance, as it's a 3-hour drive from downtown Los Angeles to the desert. Be sure to bring enough fruits and water to replenish your energy. 2⃣Be sure to protect yourself from the sun. Although the temperature in October is comfortable, the direct sun in the desert can cause heatstroke. The sun there is particularly strong 3⃣Ladies, do not wear high heels 👠. Volunteers at Salvation Mountain may ask you to take off your shoes or go barefoot. It's best to wear flat shoes or comfortable shoes 👟. 4⃣Respect the art, do not climb the mountain, nor try to touch or alter any paintings. There is no admission fee, but you can support the maintenance of 'Salvation Mountain' through donations or volunteering.
