Spiral Jetty and the Great Salt Lake

 Between visits to Golden Spike National Historical Park, Noelle, Sierra and I made the drive on gravel roads to the north shore of the Great Salt Lake and the Spiral Jetty. Spiral Jetty is an art environment created by Robert Smithson in 1970.





Having taken a nice look at the artwork, we opted to walk through the heat down to the salty waters of the Great Salt Lake.








I had seen the Salt Lake from an airplane years ago when I flew from Phoenix to Kalispell, Montana. This would be my first time seeing it from the ground. It was amazing how pink some of the water looked! Each of us waded into the super salty water and got our sandals encrusted with abrasive salt. It was worth it though. What an interesting experience!
