Has this ever come up before? You make salt by evaporating sea water.
When you consider all the salt that is spread out over the Great Basin you cannot account for it from Ice Age melt. What filled up the Basin must have been salt water. Either the earth rolled back and forth and water sloshed into the Basin or the flood mixed with the seas and filled it up with high saline concentrations.
Perhaps the flood was needed to add enough fresh water to the seas which were too salty to sustain abundant life. The water that covered the earth was from the waters above the firmament which acted as a shield to protect mankind and enable them to live hundreds of years.
Somebody should do the math and measure the amount of salt deposits and show what the best probabilites are. I am thinking that the high-water-mark, what we call the benchmark, must have been the level after the initial flood receeded. That evaporated down to the second benchmark where the influx of water sustained that for a while.
Or there were two successive sloshings of sea water or the flood and then another sloshing from a polar shift.
My theory presently is that the Idaho Caldera track that shows the path of the Yellowstone Caldera suddenly sunk and allowed the Snake River to exit to the Pacific. Before that it may have filled the Basin joining the Bear River somewhere. Something to look into.
I postulate that it would be impossible to account for all the salt with the little normal rainfall washing the hills. Is seems obvious that an intense salinity pooled into the lowest regions and deposited. That amount of salt could not have come from fresh water runoff.

Just out of curiousity, where do you think the salt comes from in the first place?

I have to admit that I had to look that one up, which took me down a path of links that I could not have predicted this morning. Thanks, John.

You don't actually read what I write, or cannot follow? The entire point was that there is too great a salt deposit around the Great Salt Lake to be gathered from fresh water run off from the hills. The basin must have been filled with salt water from the ocean. Meaning that when the flood happened and water sloshed all around the world the rain mixed with all the seas and there was a salt content to all the water that ended up in basins like Utah and Nevada's Great Basin.
All the salt from the entire pond would have staid in solution until the lowest area like the Salt Flats ended up being the evaporation site and deposited all that salt there. That much salt could not have come from a fresh water Lake Bonneville. It had to be salty.
There are a few hillsides where you can see the gradations of evaporation every few feet and not just to too major benchmarks.

The Great Salt Lake is a remnant of Lake Bonneville, which itself is a remnant of the Great Inland Sea which extended to the Gulf of Mexico in prehistoric times.
In other words, the salt content is due to the water from which it evaporated being part of the ocean at one point before being cut off. This did not happen recently. We're talking many millions of years ago. If the salt had come from Noah's flood linking a supposedly fresh water lake to the ocean, then every OTHER lake on earth would be a salt lake, too.
So your theory is incorrect.

A fast rabbit but not so fast. Regardless what might have happened billions of years ago it does not relate to the evaporation evidence found around the Basin.
Every other lake on earth is in size and water replacement criteria significantly different than the Great Basin of the US West. The heavy amounts of water that pass through other lakes would leach out the salt content rather quickly and return it to prestine. Death valley and the dead sea are possibly the only other places similar to the Great Basin and they show the same sality. I think you could study all three and show the same predictions.

You could likely benefit from reading up on plate tectonics, if you can get past the idea that the Earth is older than a few thousand years old.
