We left Murray, UT which is really just a subdivision of Salt Lake City and headed for Idaho Falls. On the way we stopped at Antelope Island State Park which is actually an island in the middle of Great Salt Lake. The island is 15 miles long and 4.5 miles wide at its widest point.
Even though it is called Antelope we saw more Buffalo that we did antelope. They introduced 12 animals into the park in 1893 and now have a herd of 500 - 700 bison. An annual bison roundup is held each year to assess the health of the herd and to sell the extra animals.
The island also host bobcats, coyote, rabbits and dozens of different species of birds.
We left the island about 4 o'clock and headed for Idaho Falls, Idaho.

human eye.
