It's been real hot here in Utah lately. It's been 104 the last couple of days. We're lucky to have the dry heat. Even though it's 104, it's nothing compared to Cambodia with that humidity.
But it's still real hot. What's the best thing to do when it's real hot? Go float in the Great Salt Lake. Because of the salt content in the lake you float. It's such a strange feeling. Once you can't touch your legs just float up to the surface. No treading water needed.
Driving out to Antelope Island is the best place to go floating in the lake. There are some showers out there, but we just rocked the salt at the end of our float, it makes for a nice exfoliator. I wouldn't plan anything after floating in the lake though, your hair will be crusty hard, and you'll probably have brine shrimp in places that you want to wash off as soon as possible.
The sunsets at the lake are seriously stunning. It was amazing to watch the colors of the sky, and the colors of the water change as the sun sunk lower and lower.

So beautiful!!!!! Utah surprises me sometimes ;)
In regards to your comment on my post, I bet you had WAY MORE of a shock than me! But, yes, it's an interesting transition so far. My friend pointed out that my routine is even different here, and that can be a shock. Ugh! Just want to get past the hard part!
Wow!! Amazing! I want to experience this floating...but shrimp? On you? Not sure if I would like that...
I want to visit there so badly! It sounds amazing! :-)
The humidity has dropped here lately too and it even makes 90 feel like heaven.
That sunset!! The birds!! SO gorgeous.
You can send some heat up here if you want. We just got our usual 55 degrees and pouring rain back this week. Sigh.
I didn't know that you could float in The Great Salt Lake--I'd always heard that about the Dead Sea, I guess there's at least two places like that--I wonder if there are any more?
Those sunsets are amazing!!!!
Awesome pictures! It has seriously been ages and ages since I've been to the Great Salt Lake...looks like we'll have to plan a day trip sometime soon :)
Wow you got some stunning photos!! How pretty is that sunset?! I have to admit its been years since I've actually gotten in the salt lake.
