Tours of mirabilite mounds ending as Great Salt Lake slowly rises
SALT LAKE CITY — The water level of the Great Salt Lake is rising, which is a positive sign for the drought in Utah.
“It’s so neat to watch them form, but yeah, if the lake level were up to what it was, we would not be seeing them,” said Anderson. “The ideal conditions that these mirabilites have — being in subfreezing temperatures and being exposed and not covered with the lake — let them grow into mounds, which is pretty neat,” said Anderson.
The water levels have risen more now than they did all of last year. At Gov. Spencer Cox’s State of the State address earlier this week, he talked about the shrinking lake.
