2016-12-21 - Salt Lake Basin

Co-pilot was the photographer while I drove up I-15 from Provo to Ogden, in the fog and traffic. The fog made photography difficult, but he did catch some interesting images of the area.

""The Great Salt Lake is the largest of the lake remnants of prehistoric freshwater Lake Bonneville...During succeeding glacial periods, large quantities of freshwater entered this intermontane basin and drained out through the Snake River—ultimately into the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. ""

I see another geology tour in my future.
