the great salt lake is not particularly attractive, it is swarmed by flies and smells of something rotting

get in the water so that you too can come to the realization that things float higher in the denser salt water

go hiking!!

	Salt Lake: One thing everyone does when... Tip Rating:

One thing everyone does when they come to Salt Lake city is to naturally take a trip out to the Salt Lake itself. In a way, the lake is unique, being incredibly saline (about 8 times more so than the ocean). It is also quite briny and hence smelly, about 15 miles out of town, and for the most part just not the great time I thought it would be when I got there. It's perfectly safe to 'swim' in, although the salt both stings your eyes if you get it in them and it keeps you from being able to sink. You just float on the surface despite your best efforts to do otherwise. There are public showers at the Saltair facility (which has it's own freeway exit off of I-80). I found watching the shorebirds far more interesting and if you time your visit to coincide with their migration, they are spectacular in their numbers.
