The Great Salt Lake is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere and sits right beside Salt Lake City. Its water is so salty that people can float easily, just like in the famous Dead Sea.
The lake is a magical stopover for millions of birds and is loved for its glowing pink and orange sunsets. Antelope Island in the middle is home to a large herd of wild bison.
Millions of birds visit each year, and bison, pronghorn, and coyotes roam Antelope Island.
The water is several times saltier than the ocean, which makes swimmers bob on top like a cork.
At sunset the wide, flat lake mirrors the sky in soft pink, purple, and gold colors.
