Antelope Island
A bison island in the Great Salt Lake
The largest island in the Great Salt Lake, reached by a long causeway, where a free-roaming herd of hundreds of bison shares the grasslands with pronghorn and bighorn against a backdrop of shimmering brine. Surreal sunsets and Wasatch views across the water.
