🛣️"The road out there is not as you would imagine. It is worse."
"Visiting this small painted hill in the middle of nowhere is a spiritual journey"
🌡️Bring water, it gets scorching

Leonard Knight spent decades building a technicolor mountain from adobe, straw, and thousands of gallons of paint in the desert wasteland east of the Salton Sea. The result is part roadside wonder, part spiritual beacon: a riot of murals and scriptures rising impossibly from nothing, with plenty of open space for your dog to explore while you take it all in.
