What To Expect

Great Salt Lake

The "pink" parts of the Great Salt Lake typically refer to its saltpans and shallow bays where high concentrations of microorganisms, particularly a type of halophilic bacteria called Halobacteria, thrive. These microorganisms, which are pinkish-red in color, produce pigments that give the water and surrounding mudflats a distinct pink or reddish hue. The coloration is more prominent during the summer and early fall months when the lake's water levels are lower, and the salinity is higher due to evaporation. Visitors to the Great Salt Lake may observe these pink areas along the shoreline, particularly in the southern and western parts of the lake, creating a unique and visually striking natural phenomenon in this remarkable ecosystem. The coloration is a result of the extreme salinity of the lake, which can be several times saltier than seawater, making it a challenging environment for most aquatic life.

Golden Spike National Historical Park

The Golden Spike Historical Site, located in Promontory Summit, Utah, is a significant and iconic landmark commemorating a pivotal moment in American history. It was here, on May 10, 1869, that the First Transcontinental Railroad was completed, connecting the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads. This event marked the end of a monumental engineering feat, uniting the eastern and western coasts of the United States and revolutionizing transportation and commerce in the country. The site is now home to the Golden Spike National Historic Park, featuring two replica locomotives, the Jupiter and No. 119, reenactments of the historic "Last Spike" ceremony, and a museum that offers a captivating glimpse into the history and challenges of this remarkable endeavor, making it a significant pilgrimage destination for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
