The Great Salt Lake

Heading out of Canyon country and North, a 300 mile drive with changing scenery. The desert gives way to the Rocky Mountains to our east and lush open grass lands and forest to our west. We spent the night on Antelope Island just north of Salt Lake City and over looking the Great Salt Lake. A very peaceful spot to spend the night as we make our way to the National Parks in the North West.

The Salt lake itself is the vastest water feature we've seen for a while, it was refreshing! We went for a walk by the lake on one of the beaches and it does smell like the sea! Gnats decided to hatch just before we got here so we didn't dare swim in the lake (or even take our shoes off!)
The island is not only home to gnats, but to all-sorts of Birds, Antelope and Bison, who were quite content to have their breakfast next to the road.

We started to find our rhythm in the Van now and it is becoming home, which is good as we have another 15 nights before we have to return it.😆Read more
