Bonneville Salt Flats

The Bonneville Salt Flats are all that's left of the historic Lake Bonneville, a giant lake rivalling Lake Michigan in size that included the current Great Salt Lake.

 

Now all that remains is potash salt, which during summer is dry and solid but in winter is covered in a small amount of water.

 

This was taken in early Spring and the water has yet to dry.

 

The most famous claim to fame of this area is the Bonneville Speedway, a few miles away where many Land Speed Records have been set.
