 A few weeks ago we headed out the Sprial Jetty in the Great Salt Lake, mainly because we wanted to see the Great Salt Lake's pink water! Tiny salt loving microbes change the actual color of the water and it's pretty amazing. 

You can only see the pink Great Salt Lake waters on the Northern Side. The day we visited the wind was blowing like crazy. So crazy that when we got back into cell service we had wind warnings on our phones.


That didn't stop us though. It seemed kind of ridiculous not to walk out to the water just because of some wind. 

Well, this wind was something else. We really didn't stay long. We put our baby down to walk on the ground and the wind blew her over. 

So we ran back to the car. Well, except don't run, because it's slippery.

If you visit, be sure to wear some water shoes that you don't care about if they get extra salty. We love our Chacos!
