You're an hour away from Bonneville Salt Flats, near Wendover, NV and from there you could google "Sun Tunnels" which will take you out into the desert west of the Great Salt Lake. From there you can take the Transcontinental Railroad Backcountry Byway (all dirt) and it will spit you out near Snowville, UT. All desert running with wide open spaces and plenty of places to explore. Pack some food and water as it's an all day adventure. If you want to go South for 30 minutes, you have Five Mile Pass Recreation Area with plenty of dirt roads or follow the Old Pony Express Trail which will take you out to the west desert (Google Simpson Spring -- it was a stop on the old Pony Express trail and will get you headed in the right direction). Plenty of places to go and it's all BLM land for the most part, except for Dugway Proving Grounds. Don't venture into Military bases...thats just a bad idea.. Hoping you survive the crime ridden state of Utah LOL...
