@mrcharliebird: We hiked all the way to the very end of Last Chance Bay because we were curious what was down there. I expected rocks and sand. Instead, we found this huge dried clay lakebed covered in the wildest textures. As the lake level dropped, the clay dried in the desert sun, shrank, and cracked into these giant polygon-shaped patterns. Crazy to think that last year we were driving a boat over this... and this year we’re hiking it! #utah #lake #nature #exploring #lakepowell
hi! hanging out at a dry lake is super fun (I love doing this) but in the future please don't lift out the mud "slabs" and disturb the mud underneath! there's the eggs and bodies of many dormant organisms hiding in that mud, and doing this kills them. many are important to keeping our water clean and the land we rely on healthy 🫶

Yall, leave no trace refers to not destroying delicate organisms and not leaving trash. Human beings are allowed to play with mud.

Ok so based on these comments it’s fine for every other living thing to exist in nature but god forbid humans do too… like we have for thousands of years…

Guys guys I need you to hear me out rn, the several hours these people spent hiking and not driving a car, throwing away garbage, or using electricity and AI, makes whatever they disturbed in the mud negligible. Also probably still less damage than all of us in the comments scrolling

Before doing anything in nature, you should think about what would happen if thousands more people showed up and copied you. Would the area be worse off? If yes, dont do the thing.
