A view east from the Silver Island Mountains shows the Bonneville Salt Flats on the horizon at left. Danger Cave, and the nearby Jukebox Cave, were formed when waters from ancient Lake Bonneville began to recede about 16,000 years ago. Changing climate throughout the region transformed the landscape across the Great Basin as well as the lives of the people who lived there in prehistoric times.
