How To Visit Utah's Pink Lake
I am not exaggerating when I say that visiting Utah's pink lake was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. And I have done some slightly out there things. Wading in pink water with a solid salt crystal lakebed underfoot was as mind-blowing for me as bungee jumping albeit in a different way. It was certainly thrilling but without the heart-pumping adrenaline. Not only was it breathtakingly beautiful; it's a relatively rare experience. While there are dozens of places worldwide where you can experience stunning pink lakes, there is only one in America! Or maybe it's two depending on how you look at it. Great Salt Lake is the only body of water in the United States that reliably contains the two microorganisms that gives the saltwater its rosy hue. But you can experience it for yourself in two different locations: Spiral Jetty on the northeast side of Great Salt Lake (where I went) and Stansbury Island on the southwest end. Stansbury Island is about an hour away...
