East Jesus is worth a stroll around. Lots of interesting art...and a large working teeter totter. Make sure you're up to date on your tetanus shot before heading out!

Junk or art? A little of both!

East Jesus art garden is the most amazing attraction further down the road from Salvation Mountain. It's a collection of art created from trash and a completely self contained community; over 10 acres of created trash art. Recently named the only official museum in Imperial county.
