Antelope Island State Park

"Surrounded by the vast expanse of the Great Salt Lake, Antelope Island offers a captivating blend of history, natural beauty, and wildlife. As one of the largest islands in the lake, it holds a rich tapestry of history dating back thousands of years, with evidence of Native American habitation evident in ancient petroglyphs etched into the rocks. During our visit, we were enthralled by the sight of bison roaming freely across the expansive grasslands, some coming as close as 10 feet from our car. The island's diverse wildlife, including pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, and various bird species, further added to its allure. As we explored the island's scenic trails, we were treated to panoramic views of the Great Salt Lake and distant mountains, enhancing the sense of awe and wonder. Antelope Island offers a truly immersive experience, blending history, natural beauty, and close encounters with wildlife, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Great Salt Lake area."
