Antelope Island/Frary Peak

A handsome couple

Andrea and I found another 7ish mile hike that she had never been on and so we ventured out early morning to Frary Peak (6596′) on Antelope Island. Joel and I have done this hike a couple of times and found the winter hike with snowshoes to be a lot of fun. As we are starting to get consistent days in the 90’s our hikes now are usually starting by 6am. By the time we were down from the summit, it was getting toasty but we timed it well and had ample water!

Looking back to the causeway where the road is out to the island. Historic low levels which is pretty sad as the Great Salt Lake used to fill up the entire shoreline up to the grass in the photo.
Nest close to the trail and the babies were squawking for food and quite loud!
Looking down at the trail as it sort of meanders along the hillsides.
Scrambling on an ill-fated attempt to use the ridgeline trail – seemed to cliff out and not something either one of us needed to do – there was a nice trail around the other side!
Zoom feature not the greatest on the camera/phone but you can see this little guy has grown back a new tail.

Me and my ill-fitting monster 90 L pack … complete with a 25# bag of pinto beans and several jugs of water. Training for Glacier Peak and Mt. St. Helens (both in WA) in a couple of weeks.
