Salvation Mountain is a man-made hillside art sculpture located in the middle of the California Badlands. Made up of bricks, discarded items, and thousands of gallons of paint, this art piece is deemed a national treasure across the world. The Salvation Mountain features murals, Christian sayings, and Bible verses painted around the structure.

Salvation Mountain is a crazy art sculpture/man-made mountain created from over half a million gallons of paint. It first fell on my radar after watching the 2007 film adaptation of Krakauer's Into the Wild, with a truly wild cameo Leonard Knight (the real life man behind the art).
