Overview

Your private guide drives you out to the remote north shore of the Great Salt Lake to see Spiral Jetty, Robert Smithson's 1970 land art installation, and the naturally pink-tinted water near Rozel Point.

Run by BeUTAHful Tours, this is a private tour/activity for your group only. The Great Salt Lake's water level changes how much of Spiral Jetty is visible at any given time — your guide sets the visit around current conditions rather than promising a fixed view.

Highlights

  • Spiral Jetty See Robert Smithson's famous 1970 earthwork, a 1,500-foot coil of basalt rock jutting into the Great Salt Lake.
  • Rozel Point's 'Pink Lake' View the naturally pink-tinted water near Rozel Point, caused by salt-loving microorganisms living in the lake's high-salinity water.
  • A remote stretch of shoreline Drive out to one of the least-visited, most remote corners of the Great Salt Lake, far from the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the Great Salt Lake's water level at the time of your visit — sometimes it's fully exposed, other times partially submerged. Your guide explains what to expect based on recent conditions.
Spiral Jetty sits on the remote north shore of the Great Salt Lake, roughly a 2 to 3 hour drive each way from Salt Lake City, which is why this tour runs 4 to 7 hours.
The north arm of the Great Salt Lake is extremely salty, and salt-loving algae and microorganisms that thrive there give the water a pink to reddish tint.
Once your quote is accepted, we'll confirm your exact pickup time, vehicle, and driver details by email ahead of your tour date.
Yes — reach out to our team any time before your tour and we'll do our best to accommodate itinerary or schedule changes.

About This Tour

Your private guide drives you out to the remote north shore of the Great Salt Lake to see Spiral Jetty, Robert Smithson's 1970 land art installation, and the naturally pink-tinted water near Rozel Point. Run by BeUTAHful Tours, this is a private tour/activity for your group only. The Great Salt Lake's water level changes how much of Spiral Jetty is visible at any given time — your guide sets the visit around current conditions rather than promising a fixed view.

The pink water here has a human cause as well as a biological one. In 1959 a railroad causeway cut the Great Salt Lake in two, and the north arm, cut off from most freshwater inflow, became far saltier, roughly 26-30 percent salinity against about 12-15 percent in the south. Salt-loving algae and microorganisms thrive in that brine and tint it pink to reddish.

Robert Smithson chose this stark corner partly for exactly that red water. Spiral Jetty, built in April 1970, is a counterclockwise coil about 1,500 feet long and 15 feet wide, made of mud, salt crystals and basalt rock. It was donated to the Dia Art Foundation in 1999.

Because lake levels change, the jetty can be partly or fully covered, which is why your guide plans around current conditions rather than promising a view. Salt crust has whitened the rocks over time, so the coil is now pale against pink-hued water, and the drive out is part of the experience.
