Salvation Mountain Excursion

Service Description

Some desert landmarks look strange. Salvation Mountain looks impossible. A private half-day desert excursion centered around Salvation Mountain, with time for travel, exploration, storytelling, photography, filming, and spontaneous stops along the way. Explore one of Southern California’s most extraordinary pieces of outsider art, a handmade mountain of color, devotion, found objects, painted vehicles, desert mythology, and pure human obsession rising out of the landscape near the Salton Sea. This private storytelling excursion is equal parts roadside Americana, folk art, spiritual pilgrimage, photography stop, and beautifully weird desert adventure. Wander the site, hear the story behind the mountain and the surrounding desert culture, take photographs and video, and experience a place that genuinely has to be seen in person to make sense. What to Expect A relaxed private excursion with time for exploration, storytelling, photography, filming, and wandering. The exact experience may vary according to public access, operating conditions, weather, and any rules in effect at the site. Important Notes This is an outdoor desert experience involving heat, sun exposure, dust, uneven terrain, and changing weather conditions. Closed-toe shoes and appropriate desert clothing are recommended. Guests must respect all posted rules, restricted areas, artwork, volunteers, and site requirements. Come for the color. Leave wondering how this exists at all.
