Wild West

Utah is known as the “Wild West” and not only because the largest fossil deposits of Dinosaurs have been found in its regions. The Great Salt Lake is even saltier than ocean water! It also harbors the world’s heaviest organism- Pando, a male aspen tree, covers an entire forest! Also, a lot of wild animal species take shelter in Utah regions and not only in the 5 national parks. Hikers occasionally encounter lions on their vacations and consider it prudent to maintain some distance, however when these hikers came face to face with a dangerous animal they chose to go against their ‘flight’ instinct.
