Visit the Biblical Statues of Desert Christ Park
Desert Christ Park is a museum of sculptures located on the hillside of Yucca Valley. There are more than 40 large white biblical statues here sculpted by Frank Antone Martin. The park was the vision of Reverend Eddie Garver, and was dedicated on Easter Sunday in 1951. It's a quiet and introspective place nestled among the desert landscape. The park is open from dusk until dawn for all to come and see these works of art free of charge. The last supper relief above is gorgeous, and some of the statues in the park tower over 8 feet tall. This site has flown under the radar in the high desert, but it's absolutely stunning and worth visiting.
