We were driving on Interstate 80 west toward the Bonneville Salt Flats and I took a few pictures of the scenery along the way. It was a beautiful day as you can tell from the pictures!
We were still on Interstate 80 when we came across this interesting structure so we stopped to try to figure out what it is. Lee looked it up when we got home and found out that it is called "The Tree of Utah" sometimes called "The Tree of Life". It is an 87' tall sculpture created by Swedish artist Karl Momen in the 1980's. It is 25 miles east of Wendover. We don't quit get why people feel compelled to attach junk to the fence but this is what it looked like when we were there.
The Bonneville Salt Flats are one of the most unique natural features in Utah and they stretch over 30,000 acres. They are located along Interstate 80 near the Utah-Nevada border.
The Salt Flats are so white they look like snow, however, it is definitely sandy when you walk on it.
These salt flats encompass a huge area. You see them for miles and miles. If you want to learn more about them, check out: https://www.utah.com/destinations/natural-areas/bonneville-salt-flats/The following are pictures Mary took from the car
as we drove back to our travel trailer.
