Salt Flats

I have a brother who absolutely loves the Salt Flats in the western part of Utah. He has driven his car on the flats at 100+ mph. He has taken his family there numerous times. In fact, one of his family’s Christmas cards featured them there. As a result, I’ve always wanted to visit. So we ventured out. 

It was bright, flat, salty, other worldly, fantastic, expansive, wow! We took some pics. 

Ansel runs to the mountain. 

Ollie tried some optical illusion shots.

Jess takes a shot of the group. It was so so bright, Elsie wasn’t loving it. Lots of baby blinks during this trip. 


We ran around and then had some snacks. 

It takes about 1 hour 45 minutes to get there from our place and we spent about an hour and a half there. The kids were troopers, but the long drive took its toll.

 “On a scale of 1-10, what would you rate this experience?” we asked. 

6 for Ollie

4.5 for Ansel

Let’s go home from Ian

6.5/7 from Jess and Ash

Quite the place, really. I commented to Jess that I was imagining we’d do more there, to which he replied, “We’ll, it’s salt and it’s flat. But it’s like no other place I’ve ever seen.” And with that I felt better about visiting.
