![]() While this has been done and there is no fence that will prevent you from going onto the salt flats, parking on the side of the freeway I am pretty sure is illegal and just an all around terrible idea. Terrible option: Pull off on the side of the freeway. If you are going specifically to see the salt flats, then you will still have to go to Exit 4 just to turn around (40 minutes there and back) so you might as well just go to the rest stop. Make sure you are using your GPS so you don't miss it. There is not really a parking area, just a place to pull off. This is probably only a good option if you want to see the Tree of Utah statue, or if you are driving through to Wendover. Other Good Option: Park at the marker for the Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway The nearest exit for you to turn around is about 40 minutes away. There is no way to (legally) get to the west bound rest stop from here. Instead you should go to the marker for the Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway. If you want to take cool pictures then I DO NOT recommend going to the east bound rest stop. There will be a small strip of salt to walk on in-between the rest area and the train tracks. If you are going from Wendover to Salt Lake and want to stop at the east bound rest stop, the stop itself is similar to west bound and has a place to wash your feet but you won't actually be able to walk on the majority of the salt flats. Depending on the time of year you visit, there might be water or possibly even mud (more on this below) so being able to wash off your feet is a nice thing. The reason I recommend this as a place to stop is because the rest areas have places to park, and water to clean off your feet. It will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get here from Salt Lake City and about 1 hour and 50 minutes to get back to Salt Lake City (you will have to continue on to Exit 4 from the rest area to turn around.
