![]() ![]() If you just google Bonneville Salt Flats you can get there fairly easily. On my visit the salt flats were closed to motor vehicles due to the wet conditions. This area does not have the honeycomb look of the area near the rest stop but is still just as unique. The second area is where you can actually drive out and access the Bonneville Speedway! Its another 5 minutes or so past the rest stop into the BLM lands. I took Winter with me! With all the salt I had her wear her hiking booties to protect her paw pads. This area features a more honeycomb look to the salt flat and was really cool to walk around and explore. The first is SUPER easy to access from a rest-stop on the side of IH-80. There are really two areas that we went to check out. I decide it was better to leave that to the semi-professionals. And no… we did not test out the speed of my new car. There is a huge draw for amature racers from around the world to drive down the famed 10 mile speedway. Why? Its history! The Bonneville Salt Flats are where speed records have been broken nearly a century. The Bureau of Land Management manages the entire 46 square mile area. Of course I did a little research before going. So I hopped in my car and was off on a two hour road trip to see them with a friend! ![]() When I excitedly told my mom about it she was SHOCKED I had never heard of them. The only reason I even discovered them was a quick google search for “the most instagramable places near salt lake city”. If I am completely transparent, I had never heard of the bonneville salt flats before moving to Utah.
