The Potash Evaporation Ponds in Moab, Utah are a trippy sight to behold in the desert landscape. These electric blue ponds stand out against the red surroundings, where potassium chloride, or potash, is extracted for fertilizer. The process involves pumping water from the Colorado River deep underground to dissolve the potash ore, then evaporating it in the colorful ponds. The changing hues of the ponds create a psychedelic rainbow effect, making it a unique and mesmerizing spot to visit in the area.
