Best Place To See Bonneville Salt Flats. My boyfriends dream is to see the Bolivian salt flats as a mirror and we figured that since this option is only a 6 hour hour drive away compared to a very expensive trip thats its worth planning for. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern and Special Recreation Management Area the Bonneville Salt Flats are a 30000 acre expanse of hard white salt crust on the western edge of.
But a little farther to the north and west low mountains break this neverending flat landscape and look as if they were floating. Depending on where you decide to book your hotel airbnb or whatever it may be Salt Lake City International Airport is your best bet. We took the first right on Salt Flats road and just headed down the road until theres no more road to drive on check out this map.
The two best locations for salt flats photography are easily accessible by car.
When the salt is completely dry cars can drive on the salt flats. Its also far removed from the city lights and offers a wide open view of the night sky. Once you get out of your car you will be surrounded by the flats. Not only were we in need of a stop to stretch out legs after a long hot 105 degree day drive from SLC this was actually the perfect place to walk out onto the salt flats.
