I thought it might be fun to have a little contest from time to time to see how well you know Snake Valley. I'll show a picture and if you know where it is, have memories of visiting it, or know some facts about it, please add them in the comments.
This huge sinkhole was caused by the collapse of an underlying limestone cavern. It's about 150 feet deep and 210 feet across at the top. It probably formed during the Pleistocene.Here's a hint for the location: It's located about 650 feet east of the Lake Bonneville shoreline and about 14 feet above it.

This is the sinkhole northeast of Eskdale. It has wonderful echoes in it, but don't visit it during snake season unless you like rattlesnakes. There are several "chimneys" along the east rim which challenge amateur climbers, but I don't know of anyone who has made it to the top. The sloped west side gives easy access to the bottom. -Kathy
