Since our days in Utah are limited and spring fever has set in, we decided we better check out the Great Salt Lake today. No better way to do that than to drive out to Antelope Island with two mountain bikes in the car. As soon as we opened the car door you knew immediately the Great Salt Lake was salty! Smelled just like we were at the ocean only with snow covered mountains in the background - the best of all worlds. Sand, beach grass, and water salinity between 25-33 percent! The ocean salinity is only about 5 percent or less. No fishing in these waters, but boy can you float!

Looks alot like BVI!
Even sailboats at the marina. Love how you can ski in the morning and take your Hobe out for a sail in the afternoon.
We encountered amazing wildlife today. The most incredible were the bison grazing along our bike path. Check out the next post for a wildlife identification challenge!
