Located a few miles from the Salton Sea and adjacent to Slab CIty, this art monument was built by Leonard Knight and is themed around 'the Sinner's Prayer' as well as other Christian motifs.

A pulled out view of an old farm wagon painted over with various Christian related themes, the wheels have flowers painted on them.

A section of Salvation Mountain. Several large trees as well as bunches of flowers are painted on in this section along with 'Love is Universal.' In the bottom of frame, you may see where the paint ends and desert sand begins.

A section of Salvation Mountain, which appears to have a dwelling built into it as many windows may be seen within the painted mound. "God is Love' is painted on a large cube on a flatbed trailer outside of it and many empty paint cans may be seen lining the ground.

Fun fact: Slab city in GTA V is known as Stab City.

The Salton Sea is a very interesting area. I’ve never been to Slab city, though I did visit Bombay beach, which is basically a half abandoned town where artists come and make quirky artwork.

I think it's called Sandy Shores in the game, but Desert Shores is the real place next to the Salton Sea. Pretty wild driving around there. Even have a couple of dune buggies parked in town.
