IT is 99 miles between Nevada/Utah border & west side of Salt Lake City.
ONLY thing in between is Bonneville Salt Flats.
I’ve driven that stretch many times. I love the salt flats; unlike anything anywhere else in the country. That weird salt molecule sculpture next to I-80 before you get to Wendover is kind of creepy and adds to the overall other-worldly feeling.
Seeing the lights of Wendover in the distance late one night I thought it looked like a base on some alien planet. Given how isolated it is it might as well be.
