Bonneville Speedway
Bonneville Speedway is a race track in Tooele County, Utah, located on a vast flat salt lake bed. The course features multiple long, straight sections designed for high-speed runs.
The track was established in the 1930s as a location for land speed record attempts. It has remained the premier venue for such record runs ever since.
The salt crust surface can vary in condition depending on the season and weather. Visitors should prepare for changing conditions and check locally about current access before arriving.
The surface is made of compressed salt crust that reaches several feet thick in places. This unusual natural composition makes it the preferred location for speed trials.

Salt Lake City brings together history, nature, and culture in one place. You can walk through Temple Square to see the main Mormon temple and its gardens, visit the State Capitol with its impressive dome and neoclassical design, or spend time in museums that show everything from dinosaur bones to art. The Great Salt Lake sits right nearby, a vast body of water so salty that floating comes naturally. Beyond the city, Antelope Island invites you to hike and spot bison and antelopes roaming freely, while the Bonneville Salt Flats stretch out like a white desert where the landscape feels otherworldly. The surrounding Wasatch Mountains offer trails and views for anyone who wants to escape into nature. What makes Salt Lake City special is how these places tell the story of the region. You can learn about Mormon pioneers through monuments and buildings they left behind, or explore the FamilySearch Center, where people from around the world come to trace their family roots using millions of historical records. The city's museums and gardens add layers of discovery, whether you are interested in science, art, or the natural world. Walking through Gilgal Sculpture Garden, you find yourself among stone sculptures and carved words that invite reflection, while the Salt Lake Assembly Hall stands as a beautiful example of how the city has built spaces for both worship and community gatherings. Visitors often come for one thing and stay longer because there is so much to see. The mix of indoor and outdoor spaces means you can plan your days however you like. Whether you spend time at the planetarium learning about the sky, wander through botanical gardens, or drive out to the salt flats where the horizon seems endless, each place offers something different. The surrounding mountains provide a constant backdrop, reminding you that you are in a region shaped by both human settlement and natural forces.
