Desert Christ Park

   A partnership in the 1950s between a preacher and a self- taught sculptor resulted in this park which features over forty steel-reinforced, concrete statues depicting scenes of Jesus’s life. My favorite is the one with dreadlocks.

   The park is on a hillside with paths that wind past the statues. A few are located on the church property next door.

   The park is not accessible due to the steep slopes and sandy soil but it’s possible to see some of the statues without leaving your vehicle.

  The gravel road to the parking lot is very steep and narrow but the parking lot is large enough for RVs. Park  34.12943, -116.43942
