Northern Utah - 2,506,804 acres

From the stark beauty of the Bonneville Salt Flats to the rugged peaks of the Deep Creek Mountains, the Salt Lake District offers nearly three million acres of Great Basin landscape to explore. Visit the Bonneville Salt Flats; spend a few hours exploring the Pony Express Trail; trace the abandoned Central Pacific Railroad grade around the north end of the Great Salt Lake. The Knolls Off-Highway Vehicle Area offers 37,000 acres of sand dunes and mudflats. Inland marches, wild horse herds, and primitive hiking and camping are also popular features of this district.

The Salt Lake Field Office is located in the northwest corner of Utah. Much of this area is part of the Great Basin region, a place of isolated mountain ranges separated by wide sweeping sagebrush flats. This area is also a land of illusions, floating islands and vanishing water mirages. Almost touching the Utah-Nevada borders is the salt flats, a unique plain of almost pure white salt. The unique geological oddity is known for being one of the only places in the United States where one can see the curvature of of the earth over dry land. Just south of the flats is the Pony Express Trail where horse riders risked their lives delivering mail in the 1860s. Contact 2370 S. 2300 W., Salt Lake City, UT 84119, 801-977-4300.
