The Bonneville Salt Flats Tour

Overview

The Bonneville Salt Flats are a unique geological wonder seen in very few places around the world. We will travel there (1.5 hour drive one-way from Salt Lake City) in a 9 person Van. We'll share some amazing geological facts about the lake, it's history and current state. The expansive wilderness and drive to the Salt Flats is simply incredible.

While the drive is quite far to the Salt Flats from Salt Lake City, we stop a couple times to help break it up. We drive by the southern edge of the Great Salt Lake and stop at the Visitors Center. We stop at the Tree of Life Sculpture and at 2 different points at the Flats themselves

*The Salt Flats dry in the summer and typically wet in the winter.
When wet, it's often calm, sending mirror like reflections of the mountains in the background.

If it's wet we'll bring our gum boots and walk out into the flats. The photo opportunities and Views are endless!

Walk: Easy + Flat, 1 mile out and back.

Very unique experience. Guide was great. It’s a bit of a drive from Salt Lake City but scenic and not long enough to be inconvenient.
