Below are some of the sights that you can expect to see from there. The rest stop is a perfect spot for those without a lot of time or just want to say that they have been to Bonneville. As you approach from the east, there are many spots that look like you have arrived but just ignore those and keep driving. There is just a few small businesses and gas stations are decently spaced so make sure that you have plenty of gas. There is virtually nothing after you leave Salt Lake City until you get to the rest stop, which I had heard was the best place for viewing.

The drive is about an hour and a half each way from Salt Lake City so I made the drive. I kept checking Instagram for recent stories and posts, checking to make sure that there was still water covering the flats. Since learning of the reflection photo opportunities, I had researched and had hoped to get there during one of these periods. I happened to be in Salt Lake City for a work function for a few days in October and made it a mission to get out to Bonneville.
