Salt Flats Photoshoot- December
Hi all! First Reddit post- kinda nervous
My team and I are looking into coming out to Utah to shoot at the Bonneville Salt Flats in December.
I’ve seen a lot of info about varying conditions, I’ve never been to Utah so I’m a little unfamiliar. I’d love any advice on weather conditions, tips and tricks, parking and even nearby lodging or other locations for shoots while we are there to maximize our time.
Thanks ✨✨✨
Should we cancel trip?
First, I just want to say I’m so sorry for everyone impacted by the fires. I know this is far more important than our travel plans.
We’re supposed to be flying into Park City from July 3–10 with our 15-month-old, and I’m getting a little nervous about the wildfire smoke and wildfires generally but especially with little baby lungs. We booked this trip to spend as much time outdoors as possible, so I’m hoping for some local perspective.
Our tentative itinerary includes:
Silver Lake in Brighton
Albion Basin
Bloods Lake
Jordanelle Reservoir
Cascade Springs
Midway
Sundance
Spanish Fork
Ogden/Pineview to scout a place to potentially move to
Would you still come if you were us? Is the smoke mostly affecting visibility, or is it making it challenging to be outside and hike? Also, are certain areas (Big Cottonwood, Little Cottonwood, Heber Valley, Park City, etc.) noticeably better or worse than others?
I know conditions can change daily, but I’d really appreciate any local insight before we decide whether to adjust our plans. Thanks!
‘A big issue’: The Salt Lake City fire is burning through rattlesnake country. Here’s what you should know.

Saw it on tiktok. Censored the user cause I’m not sure what the etiquette is for posting someone else’s account from a different platform.
Built a free tool for Utah hunt planning/draw odds, figured I'd share
Howdy all, not sure what the amount of hunting enthusiasts in this group is like, but if there are any hunters here, figured I'd share a tool I built, completely free.
Basically, the goal of the tool is to be able to have an easier way of viewing all of the different available hunts you can put in for, whether it's OTC, Deer, Elk, Antlerless etc - able to filter by weapon type, view the draw odds, harvest success rate etc.
After sitting here for the past few months staring at spreadsheets of draw results, harvest results, trying to figure out what hunt code was for which unit etc, figured I'd build something that's visually nice on the eyes - and has some sharing features so you can send exactly what hunt you're talking about for someone else to see.
Hopefully someone finds this useful. Happy hunting!
Fish lake next week
I understand there's a wildfire near fish lake, is anyone camping there this week? we're headed there next week and wondering if conditions are affected substantially by the fire
