Antelope Island is a state park located about 15 miles from Josh's house. I had heard of the park...but never been to it. Josh said there really were antelope, buffalo, and other animals roaming around the island. So we got on the bike and off we went!
As we reached the island and were exploring the different roads around the mountains...we saw a buffalo! I couldn't believe that there actually WERE buffalo...and they were huge! We also saw a bunny:)
It was perfect weather and such a fun ride!! After some exploring, we parked and hiked up one of the hills.
The family walking down the hill were speaking Russian, so Josh had a nice little chat with them in Russian:)
When we reached the top, we could see the sun setting. It was a breathtaking view. It was very quiet and peaceful. There were wild flowers and big rocks we could sit on to watch the sunset.
We didn't stay long because it was getting dark and we didn't have a flashlight, but I'm sure we'll be going back to do some more exploring!
I had to get a picture with a buffalo! I had the perfect chance when we were headed off the island. There was a buffalo standing in the middle of the road, so I grabbed my camera and realized the battery was dieing:/ I jumped off the bike and ran over to some buffalo that were running away and Josh was able to snap this picture before the camera died...
I personally think the picture is hilarious because the buffalo is right above my head and I'm still wearing the helmet...those buffalo move fast!
