Uniquely Utah: The pink shores of the Great Salt Lake

For decades, a steady trickle of tourists have been visiting the iconic Spiral Jetty on the north end of the Great Salt Lake.

These days the Jetty sits high and dry.

But for those who walk past the Jetty out to the new shore of the receding lake, a visual treat awaits: a pink shoreline.

The pink color, easiest to see in the shallow waters closest to the shore, is not a new feature or a result of recent record-low levels.

To all of you that will visit the lake for the first time – it will also be your last time ¿`_
