Antelope Island

Beautiful island with a wonderful scenery! The gift shop was under construction but the makeshift wasn’t too bad! I would definitely want to come back here during the summer or spring to hike the trails that are available. If coming during the winter time, definitely dress with layers. It was pretty chilly even during the day time. Being able to see the bison while driving around was an experience I will never forget!

Visiting Antelope Island was an awe-inspiring experience. Surrounded by the vast beauty of the Great Salt Lake, the island offers breathtaking landscapes, rugged trails, and a peaceful escape into nature. The sight of bison roaming freely against the backdrop of golden grasslands and distant mountains was truly unforgettable. The hiking and scenic drives provide incredible panoramic views, especially at sunset, when the sky transforms into a masterpiece of colors. Whether you're into wildlife photography, hiking, or simply looking for a serene getaway, Antelope Island is a must-visit. It's a place that reminds you of the quiet beauty and wild spirit of nature.

This is one of my favorite places to visit. This is such a unique place. You can wade in the great salt lake, there are several hikes like Frary Peak, and there are awesome animals to see like bison, antelope etc etc. The visitor center is cool. Go when they are no no-see-ums. This biting gnats are the worst. I definitely recommend this place.

What a treat! Totally unexpected surprise to see the wild life, the landscape and drive on the trails. Plan to spend several hours or days when you visit. There are miles of trails, lots of geocaches (if you're into that) and amazing animals. The Buffalo are everywhere!

This place was sick! We saw a bunch of animals, and the gift shop had some cool salt lake crystals! (I would suggest bringing lots of people in one car)

We took our grandkids on an adventure to Antelope Island. They had a great time. We saw bison up close, from our car and also roaming in the fields and salt flats. The Garr Ranch had displays the kids could climb on, sit in saddles, go into a sheep herder trailer and rope some metal cows. We walked in the deep sand to the beach of the Great Salt Lake and waded in the lake. It was shallow so they could go out far and see all the brine shrimp. There are many trails to hike on, but it was too hot. There weren’t many bugs and flies at the time we went. It was a nice time! The last half of the road to Unicorn is a dirt road, I didn’t see many sedans, but a lot of trucks and jeeps. We didn’t take the road, so I can’t report how rough it was. The visitors center has been moved to a storage building, did not go in. They may be building a new center. There are bathrooms at each stop, but no water or services to purchase. Bring your own water and snacks. The beach does have outdoor showers to rinse the salt and sand off.

The most underrated place in all of Salt Lake, Utah and I hope is stays that way. This place is a jewel with beautiful views and wildlife. Got some amazing pictures

The parking situation at the main entrance is a little convoluted, but once you're in, it is some of the best views, trails, and photo ops you'll ever see! Especially if you aren't from a mountainous area. We showed up expecting to drive around the island and leave be we walked multiple trails, saw all kinds of wildlife, scaled a mountain, and took home some unforgettable memories! We could have easily stayed all day long! We ran out of steam way before we ran out of hills to climb!
