Make sure to bring sunglasses because with the glare from the sun on the super white salt it can literally be blinding. It is setup as an open area so you just go wherever you want! Just be careful of the wet areas and stick to the more sturdy ground. It’s over 12 miles long and 5 miles wide! A geologist named this area after a Army officer named Benjamin Bonneville who spent a lot of time out west exploring in the 1830s. The salt flats are 46 square miles of level crusty salt for you to drive or run as far as you can. The Bonneville Salt Flats are located near Wendover, Utah in what Utahn’s call the West Desert. Travelling on the salt flats in the spring is not recommended with all the water on top. Don’t do crazy things or drive where it may be flooded because you will get stuck in the mud. If this is your first time driving on the salt flats then go easy. Note: the salt flats are closed when they are wet or flooded so read the signpost at the end of the paved road for any notices or alerts before you explore.
