Utah continued




Mike and his family has been coming to Park City for years (about 20 I believe), and I have been coming out for nearly 10 years now. We needed a rest day, but we have done many of the things around Park City several times (Olympic Park, etc). We were losing hope until I spotted an island in the Great Salt Lake with a causeway leading to it. We decided to check it out based on a paragraph in a AAA guide.

It was a state park called Antelope Island. Suprisingly, there are Antelope there! There is a buffalo heard that was introduced in the 1800's. There are supposedly Badgers, owls, tons of birds, and Bighorn sheep there too. There were 6,500 foot peaks on the island. That was a suprise since our drive in was extremely flat. We saw Coyotes, Antelope, Bison, Partridges "Chuckas", and Hawks. It was pretty damn cool and a little surreal.
