Ideal for speed enthusiasts and spectators as it's when the Bonneville Speedway hosts Speed Week, where land speed records are attempted and broken
Suitable for general exploration, photography, and salt flat activities like photography, walking, and picnicking.
Can be very cold, but also less crowded. Offers unique photo opportunities with the contrast of white salt against the blue sky or during sunrise/sunset
Check for specific events like the World of Speed or Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials, usually held in late summer and early fall, respectively
Anytime during the year, catching the sunrise or sunset over the salt flats offers breathtaking views and great photo opportunities
Visiting during a full moon can provide an otherworldly experience as the moonlight reflects off the salt crust
Heavy rains can turn the salt flats into mud, making access difficult and potentially dangerous
