Antelope Island State Park, Salt Lake City, Utah

Monday, 26 November 2007

This is the largest island in the Great Salt Lake. According to the brochure, Antelope Island comprises 28,022 acres, and is 15 miles long and 4.5 miles across at its widest point.

We saw bighorn sheep last Saturday while travelling to St. George. This morning saw the same kind of sheep in this Antelope Island. Can you see them in the picture? Maybe I should try zooming in next time then I can get a bigger picture of the bighorn sheep. Anyway, I like the surrounding scenery. It is not green but nevertheless uniquely beautiful.



This was a zoom shot of a bison - not bad! According to the brochure, bison are the island's most famous residents.


I don't know how big the buffalo is. Maybe the buffalo statue, behind all of us is of the life size?


We didn't see the other animals that were mentioned in the brochure - bobcats, coyotes, reptiles, shorebirds, waterfowl, raptors, chukars and different kinds of birds.
