This image shows the process of collecting salt from the salt beds of the Great Salt Lake and delivering it to rail cars for transport. The main effort appears closest to the car on the right, where the small trestle has been built. There is a deep cut in the salt bed next to a much higher ridge indicating ongoing excavation.

The description states:
This Great Dead Sea, the largest in the world, is located 18 miles west of Salt Lake City; area, approximately 2140 square miles; length, 75 miles; width, 50 miles, average depth 13 feet; water 27% salt; thousands of tone of salt shipped annually. Here each season thousands enjoy bathing and floating, sinking being impossible in the heavy salt water. Like the Dead Sea in Palestine, it is fed by the Jordan River, has no outlet, and no marine life, except the Salt Shrimp.
–The description of the location of the Dead Sea as being in Palestine indicates this card pre-dates the 1948 establishment of the state of Israel in the British Mandate.

This image shows the tourist resort called the Saltair along the shore of the Great Salt Lake in Utah.

The description states:
SALTAIR
GREAT SALT LAKE, UTAH
Located on the shores of the Great Salt Lake, one of the world’s wonders, Saltair is 15 miles west of Salt Lake City. Built on thousands of piles and extending out into the lake, it offers a fine amusement park and picnicking facilities, lunch and refreshments stands, one of the largest unobstructed dance floors in the world and bathing in the briny waters of the Great Salk Lake where you “float like a cork.”
–The building has been destroyed and reconstructed a few times since the first version was built in 1893, and today it is little used, as it is more remote than other desirable venues. Concerts are still held, but the resort is no longer on the lake shore.
This card likely dates from the 1950s.

The Devil’s Slide formation is a parallel set of limestone traces tilted to the vertical and eroded down the center to produce a channel. The formation is more massive than the picture implies, being hundreds of feet in length with the channel more than 20 feet wide.

The description states:
1278 — THE DEVIL’S SLIDE NEAR THE UTAH — WYOMING BORDER IN WEBER CANYON ON THE U. P. RAILROAD AND HIGHWAY  U. S. 30
–Highway 30 has been replaced with Interstate 84, and there is a turnout area for visitors to stop and view the formation at their leisure. The card likely dates from the 1940s.

This image of Zion Canyon shows the steep ascent vehicles must take to exit the valley floor. The switchbacks on the road at center left allow slow progression up the steep slopes without creating too much challenge for larger vehicles.

The description states:

Starting from the floor of Zion Canyon and zig-zagging up the talus slopes of Pine Canyon in a series of six switchbacks, the Zion-Mt. Carmel highway plunges into a 5,607-foot tunnel, from which galleries have been broken out at six selected intervals.
–This card likely dates from the 1950s.

This formation, striated throughout its surface by water action, is called the Rock Candy Mountain. This label may not be current, as the location with the name at this writing is located in central Utah, not in the Zion National Park.

The description states:
The carvings in sandstone formations seen along the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway are a source of interest and wonderment. Motor bus tours from Cedarr City, Utah, pass over this highway from Zion, Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon National Parks. Cedar City is reached by rail on the Union Pacific Railroad 275 miles south of Salt Lake City. Natural Color Photograph from Kodachrome.
