    Utah has a lot of fine gold and is the #1 money maker in the state. I have a friend who gets gold out of the gutter in Ogden from the road base that comes from a gravel pit at the bottom of a canyon that contains gold. There's a good book by Alan Chenworth called Gold Panning in Utah that goes into further detail. Last year when I camped at the Utah Gold Club claim I had a UFO hover above my campsite at night on three different occasions. I'm going there next week but won't be camping unfortunately.

      A UFO really that's crazy some people here in salt lake City claim they have seen UFOs that will travel across the valley every night from one end to the other most the time they look like stars but if u look closely.with binnoculars they have red & green lights and move very slow and will get closer and closer to where ud think ud be able to see it more clearly cuz it's right over the top of u but then the sun starts to rise and they desend slowly back up in the sky and do it again the next night. And they are definitely not satellites drones or airplanes. While you're here in Utah this weekend you should see if you can find what I'm talking about it's crazy! I wonder if they have anything to do with the gold? Lol maybe they like it too?😆😆😆

    One of the largest gold producer in the U.S. is the Kennecott Copper mine. That's why you see a lot of indicators south of the Great Salt Lake.

    That area you discuss around 15min is the famous Henry Mountains and the location of the Lost Josephine, Spanish Mine. There is an underground city in the area that is known to the local Piautes. They will not tell you where it is because their ancestors lived and slaved in the mines and were held captive in the city. We found the entrance but it has collapsed. Above the city there are still plenty of active mines. Modern miners just have not found the main vein yet. There is a South African company mining several of the mines on top now.

    The wasatch mountain range that runs vertically through Utah is the steepest mountain range in North America and also has the only mountain range in the US that runs horizontally known as the uinta mountains. Utah is definitely unique.

    Our Great Salt Lake has shrank soo much! I also believe where man has changed the way the water drains. It goes to holding ponds throughout the cities. It doesn't go to the GSL. Besides we have been very dry.

    That transverse range is called the Unita Mountains and is the only transverse range in the North American Rocky Range
    Trees down Utah has in the past suffered from a huge pine beetle infestation cause for trees being down
    Be very careful wandering around the Salt Flats as they are called because they are part of the Utah Test and Training Range. It will be clearly marked and everything outside the boundary should have been dealt with. FYI At the Utah Nevada town of Wendover there is a WWII airbase where the crews for the atomic bomb raids trained
