The drive is about an hour and a half each way from Salt Lake City so I made the drive. I kept checking Instagram for recent stories and posts, checking to make sure that there was still water covering the flats. Since learning of the reflection photo opportunities, I had researched and had hoped to get there during one of these periods.
Take the exit on the Utah side of the border.I happened to be in Salt Lake City for a work function for a few days in October and made it a mission to get out to Bonneville.
It boasts more than 500 spacious rooms and suites, restaurants and bars, and large swimming pool. The Wendover Nugget Hotel & Casino sits right on the border at 101 Wendover Boulevard. Wendover sprawls across the border into Nevada, and there a number of casino and hotel resorts on the Nevada side of the border. There are camping areas outside of the flats, and the nearest hotels will be found in the town of Wendover, which is about ten miles away. Camping is forbidden, and all World of Speed, and Bonneville Salt Flats Speed Week spectators and participants must be out by dusk. The Salt Flats are administered by the Bureau of Land Management.
(If you're a racer, you must pre-register.) No reservations or advance purchase tickets are required. The World of Speed 2023 charges a nominal fee to get to the course viewing areas. If you're in a rental car, you will probably have been told that driving the vehicle onto the salt is not allowed as it is not good for the car. You can park here or drive out onto the flats. You will find a BLM (Bureau of Land Management) sign about four miles north of the exit. Take Exit 4, the last exit before or first exit after the Nevada state line. The Bonneville Salt Flats are located about 100 miles west of the Utah capital of Salt Lake City, just off Interstate 80.
