Title

Bonneville Salt Flats

Description

The Bonneville Salt Flats northwest of Salt Lake City are a surreal 30,000-acre landscape of perfectly flat white salt that reflects the sky creating a dreamlike mirror effect in spring and fall. Families can walk directly onto the flats. Speed Week in August draws land speed record attempts that families can watch from the roadside.
