Great Salt Lake

Experience The Great Salt Lake

Overview

Let us take you on a most breath-taking experience throughout the Great Salt Lake. Because it’s so dense with salt, you can float like a cork directly on the lake!

The Lake has many great spots to appreciate the wildness that over 250 species of birds bring to this place.
