The following morning we biked 20 miles on the Jordan River Trail that runs behind campground.
.
After the ride, we headed to the Great Salt Lake. The lake was very receded:
Salt Lake is almost 30 % salt compared to the Ocean which is 3. 5 %. The lake has no outlet, therefore the Salt deposits in the lake and remains there. Because of the high percentage of salt, it can not sustain aquatic life. Though it is not like the Dead Sea because it does have an abundance of microbes that can turn the lake bubblegum pink.
We are standing in the Lake -bed.
The smell was horrendous. There were bird carcasses throughout the lake bed and millions of gnats. Needless to say we did not go in the water. Terri did touch the water and then slathered in Purell.
Here is a shot of the other end. There were people in the water. The water is so salty, you can float like a cork.
After we visited the Great Salt Lake, we headed out to play some golf:
A relaxing day before we set out for the Grand Tetons!
