And back to Antelope Island for our sunset shoot across the Great Salt Lake. I believe those are the Lakeside Mountains across the way.
Remember, there are all sorts of activities you can do on this Island if you're in the area. It's about 20 minutes or so from I-15. There is a fee to enter. https://www.americansouthwest.net/utah/ ... -park.html
An interesting tidbit: Fremont never mentioned a full time resident of Antelope Island but later in 1847, Mormon Settlers met a trapper named Daddy Stump living on the island. He even helped some of the new settlers to drive cattle onto the island in 1848. In the winter of 1855-56, Stump went missing and was never seen again, presumed dead. The Garr brothers established a ranch on the island and their home was continually lived in until 1981. It was the oldest continually lived in home in Utah up until that point. In 1981 the island was named a State Park.
