The Salt Desert

We associate scenes of desolation with the vast deserts of the Middle East, but Arizona and Utah do have their deserts despite the efforts of the tourist bureaus to convince you otherwise. If you look at the ground carefully, you will see the salt deposits in this vast plain, just south of the famous Utah Salt Flats. The Western Deserts of Utah have an attraction all their own, but certainly are not as visited as other areas of dramatic scenery. This is still one of my favorite places on earth.
