Secrets of Great Salt Lake

Synopsis:

An uplifting story of how water connects all life on Earth.

Journey back to when mammoths, camels and saber-toothed cats roamed the ancient shores of Lake Bonneville and witness its transformation into Great Salt Lake, caused by one of the largest floods in history!

Be immersed in a rare ecosystem where unusual creatures thrive in waters five times saltier than the ocean. Yet, the source of the Lake is freshwater! It comes from high up in the snowpack of the Rockies where mountain lions raise their cubs, and Olympic skiers hone their skills on the greatest snow on Earth, flowing into rivers and streams past aspen trees that form the world’s largest living organism, and down to the basin below where grebes dance on water in a wildlife refuge that supports millions of birds, and onwards into the Lake and its islands, where herds of pronghorn and bison roam.

Meet the inspiring community of dedicated scientists, indigenous leaders, farmers, and youth determined to sustain this vital Lake and surrounding watershed for the benefit of all.
