Spiral jetty is accessible. Maybe don't rush there in a big hurry?

The spiral jetty is a jetty in the shape of a spiral. No surprise there, right? It's in a particularly unscenic location in the Great Salt Lake, which is not the most scenic of places. And it's kind of unimpressive in it's own right. So if you're ever driving past the north end of the lake, stop in and verify that I'm not lying. I guess it's something you can say you've seen that your friends have not. If you're a really good liar, you can describe it in a way that will make them jealous.

My sister's were there many years ago. They traveled "the road from hell" to get to it, and then walked the spiral.
