Sticking to the north side of Antelope Island, we are finding that there seems to be a group of bulls that are content to spend time away from the main herd AND in the middle of the trail.

We started off with two possible routes and both had buffalo within a couple feet of the trail. We wandered around on the road and found a new trail that we thought would be good. It was rated easy to moderate for all modes of travel so we headed out.

Once we got about a mile into the loop, it was apparent that this was not something we were going to be able to ride. Joel described it as “Taking my bike for a hike.” We ended up carrying and pushing our bikes through the rocks for a mile or so before it smoothed out.

And, to make the buffalo blockade threepeat complete, about 3/4 of the way through the loop there was another huge bull laying directly in the trail … So back through the rocks we went.

We ended the day with less than ten miles but, as always, it made for a good story and an adventure!
