Another Nice Ride on Antelope Island

Looks like Tuesdays and Thursdays are set as Antelope Island mountain bike days. We took a different trail and did 17 of the 23 miles on the Mountain View Trail which follows the shoreline. Very pleasant rolling hills. Saw bison, coyote and pronghorn antelope plus a lot of birds and GIANT spiders.

Nifty repair stations along the,trail with tire pump, wrenches, etc.
Getting ready for Spideyfest on the 29th.

On part of the trail you had to ride through patches of tall grass. I didn’t really think too much about it but on the way back, I got a waft of the distinctive smell of Sweetgrass. Coincidentally, I am heading back to MA next month to hear the author of “Braiding Sweetgrass!”

Frary Peak in the distance. If you zoom on the left is part of the bison herd.
