Private Half-Day tour to Bonneville Salt Flats
*Start times and Pickup locations are decided by traveler*
**Salt Flats frequently covered in water between November & April.**
The Bonneville Salt Flats is like nothing else you have or probably will ever experience. The Salt is left over from a prehistoric salt water lake called Lake Bonneville, that covered much of the Utah and Nevada desert. As climates changed and the lake dried up, a large bed of salt remained.
The salt flats are a very popular tourist destination, where many come from around the world to see the sunset and take pictures of the other-worldly landscape.
The Salt Flats are probably most famous for the speed races that take place there. Nearly all the land speed records held in the planet have been set or broken at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
To reach the Salt Flats, we travel 100 miles west of Salt Lake City, close the Nevada border.

Stop At: Metaphor - Tree of Utah, North side of I-80, Wendover, UT
Metaphor - The Tree of Utah, sometimes called the Tree of Life, is an 87-foot-tall sculpture that was created by the Swedish artist Karl Momen in the 1980s and dedicated in 1986. The sculpture, which is constructed mainly of concrete, consists of a squarish 'trunk' holding up six spheres that are coated with natural rock and minerals native to Utah. There are also several hollow sphere segments on the ground around the base. The sculpture currently has a fence surrounding the base to protect people from falling tiles.
Inscribed on the plaque are the words from Ode to Joy by Friedrich Schiller; also used as the chorus of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It has been said that Momen was moved to create the 87-foot-tall (27 m) tree after having a vision of a tree while driving across the desolate Bonneville Salt Flats.
Following the dedication of this work of art, Momen donated the sculpture to the State of Utah and returned to Sweden.
