If you are at the Speedway, you can drive rather far since that is where they do land-speed testing. For the Milky Way, it would depend on what direction you are heading...? (Bryce Canyon and/or Capitol Reef are two of our most favorite spots for the night sky)

Planning to go salt flats tomorrow - can I drive on salt flats with my 2020 Subaru legacy (tires are ok okayish, decent but not great) ? I have an infant and in-laws, so wanted to check if it is really safe. Also what route should I be taking if I am coming from Salt Lake city to get best view ? Thanks in advance

@GoTravelOnTheCheap 11 ай бұрын

You should be fine with your car, as long as you take appropriate precaution. Do not pull onto the salt flats anywhere off of I-80 because some parts of the flats are not unstable. Coming from SLC, you want to get off at the Bonneville Speedway exit, which is after the rest area. You'll want to get your car washed shortly thereafter though, rinse your undercarriage. Have fun, and let us know if you have any more questions!

Any rules? Can I just get off the free way and let my car rip? Or do races? Always wanted to test how fast my car can go, safety of course

@GoTravelOnTheCheap 2 жыл бұрын

Our suggestion is to go to the Bonneville Speedway instead of the area right by the rest stop. There is much more area you can cover by the Speedway. Parts by the freeway can be very soft. Of course, we highly suggest exercising extreme caution before going too fast--making sure no one is anywhere around, etc. What kind of car do you have?

@GoTravelOnTheCheap 10 ай бұрын

If you choose to do so, make sure to use extreme caution and wash the car--including the undercarriage--thoroughly afterwards. Only drive on the salt flats at the Bonneville Speedway area, NOT just off the interstate as there are spots that may look safe enough to drive on, but are extremely soft and the car will start to sink. Hope ya have fun, whatever you decide to do! 😀
