Q:
I am planning to visit SLC in late summer. Are the Salt Flats too far? Can someone walk on them or are they slushy? How far is the parking? Is it wheelchair accessible? Is there an entrance fee or parking fee? Is it a safe drive to this place with plenty of rest stops and food/ gas places along the way? Would it be possible to go to this place and return to SLC in one day? Is this place up on an incline or down in a valley? Anything else I need to know? Thank you so much in advance!

No they are not far. you can walk a little bit on them. Parking is right there a few steps from the flats. There is no fee. I would recommend having a full tank of gas, since I did not see many fuel stations. You can definitely go and return within half day. It's flat lands so an easy drive and very enjoyable.
