You can usually find some in the tops of the mountains in the places that there is snow late in the year. Ex, northern slopes in the valleys between peaks.
I have no idea what you would find, but in spring can you get some snow melt from the mountain streams and see if there are any critters picked up along the way?
I’m assuming you mean little cottonwood and big cottonwood? I don’t think I’ve collected at either place in summer or winter. Would definitely make for some great footage. Edit: I’m also a big skier! Snowbird has always been my stomping ground. (Or skiing ground?)
It's smells because there are no rivers flowing out of the lake. So, everything that goes into the late stays in the late including dead and decaying things. It's really bad when it's windy. It's still a cool place to visit. There is a fresh water spring in an out building on Antelope island. It's part of the pioneer houses. It might be interesting to see what is in that water. The spring building was used to help keep food cool.
Timpanogos Cave National Monument, if the park rangers will let you take a sample in the cave. I know there are some high-elevation lakes and marshlands to the east of the Salt Lake area, but it's been 15 years since I visited the area and I can't remember the names.
I’ve bought a few, and they just aren’t as good quality, so I usually just take a sample home. When I first started the channel, I brought my whole microscope out and used a small electric generator. Take a look at my first video. That was the original idea of the channel: to get really high-quality stuff on site. But the microscope got too dusty going out all the time
Water was so clear!
Right?! I was pretty surprised about that myself. I think going early on a clear morning helped
Wow! It's like brine shrimp heaven! 🙏😇
Great video! There will be a time that every video of yours get that amount of views of the brine shrimp hatching video!
Another awesome video! I'll be getting back to you soon on the patreon messenger!
The pink alge that grows on the top of snow up in the mountains would be interesting to see.
If I can find some, I’ll definitely do this!

Very cool

Sure thing!
As a skier LCC vs BCC would be interesting too :)

Ooh cool I’ll have to check that out!

Great ideas!
Also, have you ever thought of carrying a pocket microscope for quick looks at your specimens out in the field?
