We had the chance to visit one of the most scenic places we've ever been: the Bonneville Salt Flats. It felt like we had traveled to another planetโwhat an incredible view.
The Bonneville Salt Flats are a unique and expansive natural feature located in northwestern Utah, near the Nevada border. The flats cover approximately 30,000 acres (121 square kilometers) and are part of the larger Great Salt Lake Desert.

We spent hours walking around and took many cool photos. As a result, this is one of the most memorable trips...
