Tips from the community
Feeling salty? Make sure to pay the Great Salt Lake a visit when you're in Salt Lake City! That's where the city got it's name, after all (if you hadn't guessed that already). As the biggest salt lake in the western hemisphere, this massive body of water creates its own weather. Also, you'll float super easily, just like in the Dead Sea.
