I have posted photos from the first day of my Utah trip: Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake and Salt Lake City. The Great Salt Lake is

• The largest U.S. lake west of the Mississippi River
• The 4th largest terminal lake (no outlet) in the world
• A remnant of Lake Bonneville, a prehistoric freshwater lake that was 10 times larger than Great Salt Lake
• About 75 miles long, and 28 miles wide, and covers 1,700 square miles – it fluctuates in size during the year and over the years
• Has a maximum depth of about 35 feet
• Typically 3 to 5 times saltier than the ocean
• Fish free, the largest aquatic critters are brine shrimp and brine flies
• One of the largest migratory bird magnets in Western North America
