The blue ponds in Moab, Utah, are becoming more and more well known because of how the blue water stands out against the red and orange hues of the surrounding desert.
Intrepid Potash, Inc. owns the bright blue ponds, which are potash evaporation ponds. They have three mines in the western United States with the potash ponds in Moab, Utah, being the most well-known.
The potash ponds are located between Arches National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park and Canyonlands State Park near the Colorado River.
This was my favorite view of the potash ponds. We were able to get the best photos and the closest to the potash ponds here.
You will need a 4-wheel drive vehicle for this trail, and it needs to be a high clearance vehicle.
We saw a good amount of traffic on the dirt road by the potash ponds, so be careful. Keep an eye out as you cross the road or stop to take pictures.
No, you cannot swim in the potash ponds. These ponds are not swimming pools and are on private property.
