The Great Salt Lake in Utah is all that
remains of Lake Bonneville, the pre-historic lake that covered sections
of Utah, Idaho, and Nevada. Great Salt Lake is far saltier than an ocean,
creating a kind of super-buoyancy not unlike that of the Dead Sea.
One of the most popular activities at Great Salt Lake is bird watching.
The wetlands around Great Salt Lake provide a habitat for more than
250 different species of birds.
Antelope Island is the lake's largest island. It can be reached via
a causeway. Antelope Island is home to one of the biggest publicly owned
herds of buffalo in the US. Antelope, big horn sheep, mule deer, and
coyotes also make their home on Antelope Island. The Historic Fielding
Garr Ranch offers educational programs on 19th century western life.
Near Great Salt Lake is Lagoon, an immense amusement park that the whole
family is sure to enjoy. Lagoon has 35 rides, live entertainment, and
a water park. |
