Summer is the best time to visit the Bonneville Salt Flats. But please be aware that they get extremely hot during July and August but at least they will be dry. When temperatures rise in the late spring and summer months the salty water rapidly evaporates in the heat and the minerals are left behind to form the salt crust. During the cooler months of the year November to May evaporation slows down and the ground water floods the Salt Flats several inches deep.
