Exploring Antelope Island

This week I visited my wife while she was in Salt Lake City for an interview. We took a trek up to Antelope Island, something I had read about and really wanted to see. To get to the island we crossed a long causeway near Syracuse, Utah. The causeway had a sign which indicated there was an AM station we could listen to. Listening to the station provided some helpful information (such as park, hours) as well as educational information (such as salinity on the right versus left sides of the causeway). Once reaching the island we were in an alien landscape that literally blew my mind. I don’t think I have ever been so impressed at a landscape. It felt like we were on an alien planet. We took the road to the right as we entered the island and up to a point that overlooked buffalo point and the lake. The below panoramic picture was taken on that point (I think it was called Egg Island overlook according to this map).
