Voltando pra Sacramento....A Oeste de Salt Lake City - os Salt Flats. Eram lagos a milhoes de anos atras. Hoje em dia sao vastos "campos" de sal...
Going back to Sacramento...
West of Salt Lake City - the Salt Flats. They used to be large lakes millions of years ago. Today they was large open "fields" of salt!
O Estado de Nevada e o Estado de Utah tem muitas montanhas altas. A paisagem eh estranha pois o tempo todo estamos dirigindo pelo planalto (uns 1.200 metros de altura) e quando voce olha pro lado ve uma montanha enorme - entre 3.000 e 3.500 metros de altura cada uma.The state of Nevada and the state of Utah have lots of tall mountains. The scenery is weird in a way that you are driving thru the flats (at 1.200 meters high) and when you look to your side you see huge mountains on both sides, 3,000 - 3,500 meters high.
Reparem que estava ventando no topo da montanha. A neve em Utah eh tao leve (teor de agua - menos de 5%) que qualquer ventinho a neve parece areia.
Notice that it was windy at the top of the mountain. The snow in Utah is sooo light (less than 5% water content) that even light winds make it look like sand.
