While we're still a few short weeks from returning to the road for spring, summer and fall, we wanted to bring you to one of our favorite places in our own back yard before we leave the Salt Lake City area for the season. Forty-two square-mile Antelope Island sits in the middle of Utah's Great Salt Lake northwest of Salt Lake City, connected to the mainland by a seven-mile causeway. On the island, which is uninhabited and teeming with a massive herd of American bison, it's hard to believe that the suburban bustle of the Wasatch Front is only seven miles away, for Antelope Island might as well be in another world. It's a place to camp, hike, ride horses, learn history, view wildlife (including American bison), and more!

Great video Marc. Utah has so much to see and enjoy. Every year they have the Bison Roundup on the island. Volunteers on horseback round up the bison for vaccinations, health checks, and distribution of some to other bison herds to promote diversity of gene pools. I was able to participate in the Roundup one year. It was the experience of a lifetime.

@GrandAdventure

Locals call that "lake stink". It's not so much from the salt water, but from dying organisms along the shoreline. That's more of a summer phenomenon. No odor this time around. Also, that camper is what's known as a sheep camp. Those who tend to the flock stay out with them in a sheep camp.

Thanks Marc... that was a neat side trip. Was that the herd that they used to re-populate the herd at Yellowstone some years ago? Just curious. The bison almost went extinct. I assume that the snowpack on the sounding mountains generally isn't that heavy at this time, in most years. Are they expecting flooding and mud slides after the melt in these mountains? 🤔 Gord
@GrandAdventure
@GrandAdventure Жыл бұрын
Whether or not they used the Antelope Island herd to repopulate Yellowstone I do not know. Whether or not the snowpack generates flooding remains to be seen. It all depends on how gradual a warm up we experience here. Right now, statewide the snowpack is at 201% of average water equivalent. So it's going to be interesting to see what happens when literally two winters' worth of snow starts coming down.
