The mining company (formerly Moab Salt; now Intrepid Potash) has created a weird industrial
landscape amidst the beautiful sandstone buttes and mesas. The buildings and structures at
Potash are part of it, but a better-known feature is the collection of bright blue salt
evaporation ponds that lie next to Shafer Trail, the rough dirt road that is the only
driving route on the plateau. Some of these ponds are visible from Dead Horse Point State
Park: from a distance they make for a cool sight. Mountain bikers and other explorers who
venture out to Amasa Back have an equally interesting view. From these vantage points one
sees the big picture, but not the dirty details such as salt-stained stream washes.

The ponds appear at the center of this WikiMapia aerial view.
