salvation mountain

earlier this week we spent a few days in palm desert with my mom celebrating my birthday. and since we were in the general area of salvation mountain i decided that we had to go. i've been wanting to go there for years. the first time i heard of it was from the tv show, California's Gold (you can view the episode here). after that i was pretty determined to get there. 
ruben and i got up early and ended up going alone on friday morning. and i'm glad to report that it was just as awesome as i thought it would be. i highly recommend making the trip and if you want good lighting for pictures i'd suggest going at sunset not in the morning like we did.

  5. Hey Anne, we had wanted to visit Salvation Mountain when we last came over...but couldn't fit it into our itinerary....love your photos though, there are some details here that I hadn't seen before; the truck tires, the altar with the trophies, the letter box plaque. Thanks for sharing! x
