This unique tour offers the perfect way to experience Utah — to feel its spirit, history, and landscapes in one unforgettable journey. Begin at the fascinating geothermal spring, where mineral-rich waters bubble from deep within the earth, creating vivid emerald pools and a sulfur scent. Step back in time at Golden Spike National Historical Park, where in 1869 a single golden spike united East and West America. Continue to the remote Rozel Point Peninsula, where dazzling salt fields and shimmering pink waters feel almost otherworldly. Explore this surreal landscape, touch rare gypsum crystals like those discovered by NASA on Mars, and wade knee-deep into rosy waters with special protective footwear. Conclude at the legendary Spiral Jetty — one of America’s most iconic land art masterpieces, where nature and creativity merge in harmony. With comfortable transport, a professional guide, and a small-group setting, this adventure reveals the heart of Utah and the Great Salt Lake Odyssey.
