The Great Salt Lake fluctuates a lot, but not on an annual basis. More like each decade. It was very low in the mid-1960s to the point that people were afraid it was going to dry up. By the mid 1980s it was so full that it was beginning to come up over Interstate 15 and the state of Utah installed huge pumps to pump excess water out into the West desert to evaporate. We’ve had several dry years and it’s low again but it will swing back the other way.

I live in Utah. That is a little causeway over a part of the Great Salt Lake out by an old resort called Saltaire. It used to be kind of an amusement park/resort for people to go to and take a dip in the Lake. The lake has receded since then and most of Saltaire is gone but there is one great old pavilion out there where they still have concerts and dances. It was probably kind of an ill-conceived idea to put an amusement park there to begin with. It’s about 30 miles west of Salt Lake City, it is ugly, stinks, and the Great Salt Lake is constantly rising and receding. Some years, like right now, the shoreline is far away from Saltaire. Other years the place has been flooded. Anyway, that’s a long answer to a simple question.

That mine tram at Kennecott....is that thing still around? The Saltair footage makes me sad.

[@albinoguidedog]

From my knowledge it is not operational since the mine is too deep.

I like how they get out of the vehicle,without setting the parking brake,no turn signaling

Back when Utah was it's best version, overflowing with Mormons. Forget what you think of the teachings, Mormons are wonderful people. I'm not even one, but damn they are awesome.

Thanks! We're still about 61% of the population of the state.

[@superinquisitor]

7:14 does anyone know the location?

[@hansliu9480]

Can someone tell me where they are at 2:30?

[@marscaleb]

Every time there's a shot of something I really want to see and study it's done in half a second...

[@leezurligen227]

Where did you get this footage? Who shot it and for what reason? Does anyone know where that incline railway was?

[@robertlyon6886]

In the Bingham Canyon mine. I believe it's primary purpose was to access an office building at the top of the incline.

I graduated from Highland High, which was built over the Sugarhouse prison that was active during the 40s. Rumors went around that the basement of the school were part of the prison. There was a sideroom next to the photography blackroom, that was VERY long, and had a ton of 1/2 inch long holes plunged into the far wall. Absolutely used to be used for target practice for the guards.

whats the difference between historically accurate and just accurate? and what does it mean? im assuming they didnt just guess at the colors right?

[@saltlakemusicvideos3267]

Wish whoever put this video together that they had placed titles of the town and locations haha. Would be cool to know where some of the places were

[@annapavfan4680]

Looks so walkable and full of life. And I know there’s cars here, but the streets were still for the people. The automobile has destroyed everything, and is continuing to do so. Our pockets, the same highways that are designed to keep them running, and the way people interact with each other.

[@not_porter]

I live in Odgen, but was born in the 2000s. This is really cool to see.

[@ab7698]

Great job. It makes the past much more relatable.

[@redfightblue]

I'm intrigued by how many cool things lived their useful purpose and were removed all together. Saltair with an over water train. An entire city in Bingham Canyon with a funicular and train. All that steel work at the train station with huge steam engines and smokestacks. Also things that seem so much better like traveling the national parks on horseback with no asphalt roads and parking lots.
