We drove out on the flats and took some fun pictures.
We were blessed on the weekday we visited in June to not have the drive-in cul-de-sac going out on the flats be crowded, and more importantly, there was light cloud cover, so we were not blinded or baked. We took care to clean off our footwear before getting back in the car. The crust is thinning, but it's still thickest in the center and less than one inch toward the edges. The Flats are 12 miles long and roughly 5 miles wide. Today it's used to set land speed records during the racing season in August.
It's the remnants of the prehistoric Lake Bonneville, which also formed the Great Salt Lake. To learn about this very interesting place was fascinating to me.
