Description:
Stansbury Island, the second-largest island in Utah’s Great Salt Lake, offers a rugged, remote landscape perfect for hiking and fossil hunting. Though often connected to the mainland by a dirt road, it feels worlds away, with sweeping views of the lake’s striking pink waters—colored by halophilic bacteria and algae that thrive in its highly saline environment. This surreal setting highlights the unique ecology and stark beauty of Utah’s inland sea.
