It will take about five years to see if the plan works. The Bonneville Salt Flats are administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Because of its fragile ecology, history and unique geology, the area was designated an Area of Critical Environmental Concern in 1985. Stay on existing roads. The Salt Flats may appear solid, but most of the area is a thin crust of salt over gooey mud.
Vehicles can permanently damage the surface.
Temperatures in the area can hit 100 in the summer and zero in the winter. Be prepared for wilderness conditions. Take extra gas and water. You won't find any facilities or services on the Salt Flats. Overnight stays are prohibited.
