What people say

Adrianna Czyżewski
"Majority of Utah's landscape is unlike anything else you will find. It's rugged, it's different, and makes you triple check if you are still actually in the USA, because quite frankly, it feels like a different planet. Bonneville Salt flats is one of those locations, and you can see exactly why. You can either drive to the parking lot and walk a bit out on the flats or you can be a semi daredevil and take your car out into the flats. Yes, it's legal, we checked. Just don't go off too much in case you catch some mud and get stuck. "

"This is a bit of a drive from SLC but is a great stop for a half day trip. Plan ahead and bring food as stops nearby the salt flats are VERY minimal. There is a singular gas station and toilet rest stop but not much else. Service is minimal as well. Salt flats can change pending the recent weather from bone dry, mucky and flooded with water. Not recommended to drive on the flats unless very experienced and car can handle it (you may get stuck)."
"Otherworldly place close to SLC! Make sure to time it the with the sunset! However, it is an hour and a half driving one way to see this so it will take up a lot of time!"
