Salt Lake is one of the most famous lakes in the United States. It is located next to Utah's capital and largest city, Salt Lake City. It was here that the Mormons settled, who, according to legend, came to this lake, the size of which was so large that they thought they had reached the sea, so they settled here. Unfortunately, the lake is constantly drying up at high speed. Since 1988, when it had the largest historical size of 8,800 km2, it has decreased to 4,000 km2 to date

Great Salt Lake

Mormon Sea

Salt Lake is probably one of the most famous lakes in the United States, located next to the capital and largest city of Utah, Salt Lake City. The Mormons settled here. Who are in Utah and, according to legend, came to this lake. Their size was so large that they thought they had reached the sea, so they settled here. The lake is constantly drying up at high speed. Since 1988, when it had the largest historical size of 8,800 km2, it has decreased to 4,000 km2 to date. What will surprise you is that you can come across coyotes here, but also bison. We both had the honor of meeting, but we didn't come here because of it. As the name implies, it is a salt lake. Its solution, which is in the range of 20–28% salt, is enough to keep a person from drowning. The lake is currently receding. In 1963 it was at its minimum of 960 km2. From the beach you can walk at least 200–300 meters to the lake. But it's not everywhere. It smells strongly in some places, swamps in others. Anyway, it's good to go in boots. Salt crystals are as sharp as nails or glass. On the way back I went barefoot and it was a real purgatory. The water is extremely salty and lifts people. Who has not experienced it is an experience. He lets himself sit in the water and make other creations, and at the same time I functioned like a cork plug. What I do not recommend sinking. And for some, water could cause problems in intimate places. He can pinch nicely. In any case, one does not immediately come across a beautiful sunset, which is beautifully reflected in such salt water. About Mormons in Salt Lake City

American bison

When you say Bison, you think of Yellowstone, but these American cows live freely throughout the states

American bison

Although we are really close to it, it is not recommended to approach it at 50 meters. Even though he is a clumsy animal from the point of view, Usian Bolt does not escape him either

In the place Great Salt Lake there is a camp where you can sleep. But this campsite is absolutely simple.

Honest housewife

Americans are known for their passionate camping, so their motorhomes are something they just can't see anywhere. This bus apparently drove a car garage.
