A Salt Lake City staple , Antelope Island is known for it’s alternative beauty and it’s incredible wildlife including Bison, mule deer, bighorn sheep, & pronghorn antelope.

If you’re looking for a place off the beaten path Stansbury Island is a good but rougher spot. Since most people will be at Antelope Island, you’ll likely have the area to yourself. This place is pretty rugged so be sure to bring all of your necessities along for the night. There is awesome hiking, mountain biking, and site seeing but a word of caution: The salt flats are incredible but deceiving. Stay on the designated paths, many people have buried their vehicles in the muck.
