DID YOU KNOW?

The award winning film: INTO THE WILD directed by Mr. Sean Penn spent a month filming in the Borrego area in 2007.  On one of the locations, the film company built a set in Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area. They re-created a Nudist colony known as "Oh My God Hot Springs."

The production also visited Salvation Mountain in Niland and filmed a poignant scene with the late/great Leonard Knight.

This is the scene from Into The Wild starring Emile Hirsch, where Chris McCandeless (Hirsch) visits Salvation Mountain with Tracy (Kristen Stewart). I OWN NOTHING IN THIS CLIP.
