Bonneville Salt Flats
Northwest Utah, off I-80 near the Nevada border | 232 Miles
The Bonneville Salt Flats should be familiar to all motorsports enthusiasts. Its thick salt crust—the remnants of a huge Pleistoceneera lake—provides the ideal flat surface for record-breaking speed runs. Since 1914, racers from around the world have come to Bonneville to satisfy an ever-increasing need for speed. The Salt Flats are located off Exit 4 on Interstate 80, about 120 miles west of Salt Lake City. Our recommended route begins in Woodruff in the northeastern corner of the state on UT-39 along the Ogden River Scenic Byway. Running along the Ogden River and through narrow Ogden Canyon, this route takes you through Ogden and Salt Lake City before continuing west to Bonneville Salt Flats.
