Even further west on the Bonneville Flats the ground can be pure white with fluffy salt deposits. <br /><br />The salinity of the lake varies with the water level, less water means it is more saline. <br /><br />I hope that you and Michael will come back to Utah again Chris, I'd love to take you out into the west desert or to travel along the Promontory Mountains south the Promontory Point.

I think because some of that area is wet, it gives the impression that there isn't any salt in the water at all. Strange area:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-47907406467930394682015-10-28T13:33:14.604-07:002015-10-28T13:33:14.604-07:00A great post, Chris, with some excellent photograp...A great post, Chris, with some excellent photography to complete the story. Please excuse this dumb question, but is the water of the lake as saline as the the name of the city would suggest? I ask because I would have expected to see salt deposits at the water's edge - particularly if the lake is slowly drying out.<br /><br />Best wishes to you both - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.com
