Bonneville Salt Flats is a backcountry strip 10 nm northeast of Wendover KENV.
It runs NE-SW parallel the Speedway and is in great shape.
The white color of salt flats makes it harder to identify. Make a pass or two. There is no windsock and no parking area. Just miles and miles of the runway. Take your weather report from Wendover.
View to the NE.
View to the SW.
Surface is nice and smooth with great braking action. Looks like Alton Bay ice runway but not slippery.
If you venture off the runway there are crusty salt risings which may mess up your nice wheel pants. 2" max but sharp. Not Alvord Desert where you can land in any direction.
Great experience overall.
My buddy flew a drone and was wondering what are those yellow spots on white. I was puzzled too till had to walk a mile to make one...
