Amazing place to visit. Surprisingly the salt pan is like walking on concrete! The salt pan stretches as far as the eye can see!

Very large salt lake that's normally dry but was full when I visited. The location of several land speed record attempts over the years and still have regular events when its dry. Fairly easy drive in
