Removed from Unnamed collection

Just 35 minutes west of Salt Lake City, nestled in the heart of Tooele County, lies the Deseret Peak Complex. This venue is a haven for sports enthusiasts, offering a wide range of activities that promise to satisfy your craving for excitement. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Tooele Valley, the complex is bursting with family-friendly fun.

Now, picture a place so flat you almost feel like you can see the Earth's curvature, and so barren that even the simplest life struggles to exist. Hear the roar of unusual vehicles zooming across a vast, dazzling white expanse. This isn't some alien planet. It's the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, one of the state's most remarkable natural wonders. Spanning over 30,000 acres, this fragile landscape is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and is conveniently located along I-80 near the Utah-Nevada border. The closest city is Wendover. Each year, thousands of visitors, commercial filmmakers, and high-speed auto racers flock to the Bonneville Salt Flats, making it a world-renowned destination. Fun fact: Speed Week, an annual event held here, draws racing enthusiasts from all over the globe to test their limits on the salt.

Ever dreamed of flying? Well, it's not just a fantasy anymore. With Skydive Utah, you can make that dream a reality. Your first skydive is just a phone call away. Soar high above the Great Salt Lake, taking in a view that stretches for miles. Tooele County is one of the few places in Utah where skydiving is permitted. This adrenaline-pumping adventure is perfect for thrill-seekers looking to tick something extraordinary off their bucket list.
