This is part six out of eight on my family vacation blog. I left for Salt Lake City, Utah in a hotel room. We woke up early the next morning and went back to the UP house. We parked a street away and walked to the sidewalk in front of the house. We took a few pictures and hopped back in the car. From there we headed to the actual Salt Lake park in Salt Lake City. We arrived at the park around 11:00am. To me it looked like a beach but the sand was salt. It was thick and muddy looking but sparkly. There were signs everywhere saying that mainly only brine shrimp are able to survive in the salty water of the lake. There were little puddles everywhere and if you got up really really close you could see the tiny brine shrimp. They look a lot like sea monkeys. About 10 foot from the water was a pile of salt and there were a few piles on the shore but a good distance from each other. They were literally big huge chunks of piled up salt and it was super hard to the touch. The lake was cold and smelled really bad. We walked around and looked at the shrimp, salt, and seagulls before getting in the car and taking off. In some parts of Colorado and Utah it was 30-40 degrees and in Texas and other places it was 110 degrees. After leaving Salt Lake City we headed back to Colorado but this time to Colorado Springs. We got a room and woke up early that next morning and headed too Garden of the Gods. Basically what that is would be really big rock formations of unique colors. Upon arriving we went inside the visitors center and gift shop. As you walked in there was lots of taxidermy of the animals that live in and around the formations. There was a 3D map of all of the rocks and a restaurant downstairs. We looked around and then got a game plan of what we were going to do and see in the park.
