The famous Bonneville Speedway is located in the western portion of the flats, near Wendover. The flats can easily be seen as you drive I-80 between Salt Lake City and Wendover, NV.

They cover a large area and have a very unique environment. The Bonneville Salt Flats are found west of the Great Salt Lake, in western Utah. It is located along I-80 near the Utah-Nevada border. The Bonneville Salt Flats is one of the most unique natural features in Utah, stretching over 30,000 acres.
