Bison on Antelope Island

One morning in May 2024 I was on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake, and this bison was just bedded down in the dry grass. It was a clear morning, already in the low 60s, with only a light breeze, and you could see snow still sitting on the mountains across the water. Laura and I had been near West Bountiful the afternoon before, and the island is only about a 20 minute drive from there.

Antelope Island is the largest island in the Great Salt Lake, and it's known for this bison herd that lives out on the open range. I stood there and watched this one rest.
