May 26, 2019: ANTELOPE ISLAND STATE PARK | Salt Lake, UT • 🚲👟
Antelope island lies in the Great Salt Lake. There are a tremendous amount of great MTB trails in the Wasatch Mountains but they were still buried in snow so we opted for this ride. It was gorgeous; I kept saying it felt like the Lion King met Ireland.. rolling green hills with tall choppy rock that Simba was baptized upon. The only downside were the swarms of biting gnats we rode through.. you had to keep moving or you would get eaten alive.. which kept us motivated. Fortunately we found a great place with great views to take a break mid ride where the wind was blowing which kept them at bay.
