ANTELOPE ISLAND SYRACUSE, UTAH

A picture of me photographing the Salt Lake scenery.

From the mainland, its 28,022 acres appear barren and deserted. But Antelope Island is home to a variety of flora and fauna native to the Great Basin region. This is a great place to view the wildlife. The island was without its namesake antelope for many years, but they were reintroduced in 1993 and can now be seen in many areas of the park. Deer, bobcats, coyotes, many varieties of birds and waterfowl also call the island home. But most famous are Antelope Island's American Bison, introduced to the island in 1893 and now numbering some 600 animals.

















I will be getting back to my Jewelry Designs with a few gems that I purchased while in Utah. :)

MORE and MORE BISON

Rich in scenic beauty and natural features, Antelope Island is the perfect place to view the Great Salt Lake and experience the vast solitude of the Great Basin.

SALT LAKE CITY ( aerial view)

Breathtaking, really! The views are awesome from this high altitude on our descend to Salt Lake City, Utah. Mountains higher than the clouds.
