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.

What To Expect

Salt Lake City

Your journey begins in Salt Lake City, where Utah’s rich history meets its breathtaking natural beauty. As you leave the city behind, the landscape transforms — towering mountains frame the horizon, vast valleys stretch into the distance, and the shimmering Great Salt Lake begins to reveal its mysterious pink hues. This captivating route unfolds as a true Great Salt Lake Odyssey, guiding you through places where history, geology, and art merge into a landscape so surreal it feels almost otherworldly.

Admission Not Applicable

Our first stop will be the remarkable “Stinky Springs.” Imagine this: mineral-rich water bubbling up from the earth, interacting for millions of years with sulfur compounds deep beneath Utah’s crust. That distinct aroma? It’s the result of fascinating geothermal processes unfolding underground. What truly captivates here is the water’s incredible color — a vivid emerald-green hue shimmering in the sunlight, revealing layers of mineral deposits and creating a mesmerizing natural palette found nowhere else.

Easily the most impressive tour that Dima has to offer is a private experience to the remote and secret Pink Lake. Words cannot do this place justice as it is simply breathtaking. Dima took time to prepare us with boots and gloves that allowed us to walk in the water. Make sure you add this to your vacation plan!

We booked Dima for our tour again because he was truly amazing. He always made sure you were comfortable. He had special shoes to wear so that you were able to go in knee deep and truly experience the pink salt water lake. The view and experience was once in a lifetime. We also saw real oil from the ground, salt crystals, and gypsum. Plenty to take home with you. It was an amazing experience I cant stop talking about it. I highly recommend this trip and make sure you ask for Dima, he has great stories. Thank you Dima.

The Pink Lake was a truly once-in-a-lifetime visit with the most incredible lake I've ever seen. We trekked a long way over what seemed like empty space to this hidden scenic lake that had vibrant pink waters and salt crystals. The pictures came out incredible and don't even fully do the experience justice! Just a hidden gem amongst trips in Utah that I would recommend to literally everyone. Amazing!
