July Desert Trip Part 1

Hello lovelies!

Here are a couple snaps from last weekend's desert road trip to Salvation Mountain and Joshua Tree. 

We ended up going with the family for my twin brothers birthday, it was definitely a scorcher but I have to admit it felt nice to be back in the desert...despite the heat..I know haha but I just love it out there!

My brothers had never been to some of these desert spots so my sister and I made sure they got to see our favorite spots lol! 

Our first stop was Leonard Knight's Salvation Mountain in Slab City. I know this place is a little overrated now but I still love going back.

Took a few of our Coronado Ave. baskets to  shoot too :) they fit right in haha

The next morning we stopped by The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in Palm Springs, which was pretty neat! I loved these little huts!

I mean we had to stop by The Joshua Tree Coffee Co. too...

Didn't get a chance to snap a pic of their coffee but it was really good, I got an iced oat latte, perfect for the high temperatures!

Loved all the BLM artwork around there

More pictures coming soon...

Stay tuned!

I finally got to check off Salvation Mountain off my bucket list! This past Saturday we drove off to the desert and what can I say, I fell in love with this groovy place. I was in awe of all the hard work and dedication put into this by Leonard  Knight, who was the creator of Salvation Mountain. He began painting the mountain in the 1970's and it eventually became an art exhibit and tourist spot. He unfortunately passed away last week, RIP Leonard. His beautiful folk art definitely left me speechless and inspired.

 If you ever get a chance to visit ...go! Plus it's free! Donations and paint are also accepted.

It's definitely something you don't see everyday ;)
