One of southern California’s most iconic art destinations is Salvation Mountain, a singular work permanently installed outside the small desert town of Niland. Some 50 feet high, the “mountain” is made of adobe and candy-colored paint and emblazoned with, among other things, the simple declaration “GOD IS LOVE.” This is the life’s work of the late Leonard Knight, a Vermonter who grew up in Shelburne Falls.
