We drop in to the frontage road from 5600 West, having gotten there from California Street, although last time we were out there a month or so ago, the road was closed, and it was a festival of semi-trucks making dramatic U-turns. We joined them, and beat a hasty retreat back to the east.
The bike path does exist. I ride to it from home usually. You access it from North Temple, just west of the NWS office. If I meet others to ride out to the Marnia, they usually park in front of the Airport Hotel. This is just east of gate #1 (there are 5 intimidating but open gates that you have to navigate to get through the airport and to the International Center). I take my newbie MS 150 riders out there pretty regularly.

There is a truck driving school in the International Center, which explains the truck U turn madness. More common during the week, but sometimes they are out there on Saturdays.
