Overview

Utah's wilderness is easily accessible from downtown Salt Lake when you visit Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. The island contains beautiful scenery, sprawling lakeside vistas, and plenty of wildlife. We'll look out for the herd of 600 American Bison roaming the island, as well as coyote, bobcat, antelope, porcupine, big-horn sheep, mule deer, and seasonal migratory birds. Afterwards, hike to Buffalo Point via a moderate and well traveled .9 mile trail to catch the sunset.

  • Take a sunset hike to Buffalo Point
  • Look out the island’s bison herd and other wildlife
  • Visit the beautiful and enigmatic Antelope Island on a guided tour
  • Travel in the comfort of a 10 passenger Ford Transit van

What To Expect

Combine your trip to the Great Salt Lake with what I consider the only way to visit it by experiencing Antelope Island. This little known island is teaming with wildlife, and you can't get the quiet of wilderness by simply visiting it near I-80. We will spot for the wild herd of 600 American Bison roaming the island. Amongst the Bison we'll watch for coyote, bobcat, antelope, porcupine, big-horn sheep, mule deer and if the season is right up to 200,000 migratory birds. You can truly experience Nature in its finest form on this beautiful island. After wildlife spotting, we'll hike to Buffalo Point on the Island to watch the sunset and take in the breathtaking views.

*Bug Season (April-June)
We have bug spray for the mosquitos, and hats/bug nets for the biting gnats. Midges do not bite.

The Hike is .9 miles round trip. It has a couple steep parts on dirt, but it's very well traveled. I would designate this as a moderate hiking difficulty, which is less than a mile.

The Tour Vehicle is a 10 Passenger Ford Transit Passenger Van with a High Roof and really great large windows in the back for viewing.
