Description: “Oh take me down to the sea once more,
Or maybe to the Great Salt Lake, saltier than the sea…”

The approach to the Great Salt Lake shows the broad, flat plain on which the great lake lies. It was not flattened by glaciers. Glaciers did not reach far enough to scour the lava beds. They did, however, make their presence felt when they melted.

The Great Salt Lake has no outlet. Melting of the glaciers during the Great Ice Age produced an inland sea in the Salt Lake Basin similar to the modern Great Lakes. This huge freshwater sea was called Lake Bonneville. Its waters lapped over this very ground. That water spilled out in a mega-flood through Red Rock Pass and into the Snake River. The lake level dropped 300’ during the catastrophic drainage. The rate of flow was three times that of the Amazon River.
