Left Turn at Moab

If we're going to LA or Las Vegas, we always leave Denver and follow I-70 west to Moab. At Moab, we take a noticeable left turn over these stunning blue ponds, and I've wondered for some time what they were. They remind me of the Cargill Salt Flats at the southern end of San Francisco Bay.

Today, I finally decided t run them down. Turns out that they're the Texas Gulf Potash evaporation ponds near Dead Horse Point, Utah. They add the surreal blue dye to speed up the evaporation process.
