N0v 29 - White Rock Trail (Antelope Island)

 Sunny cold morning with temperatures in the low 20s

As I arrive on the causeway, there's a fog bank blocking the view of the island. But as I get closer, the bank, thankfully, starts to break up and I can see again.


I reach the island and head south towards the Ranch.

No critters to be seen again today. I check for deer near Frary Peak and find none (although there were cars pulled off seemingly looking at something that I couldn't see).

I turn around and head north and over to White Rock campground. 

Still plenty of bison hanging out on the north side of Bison Point (been there for weeks now). And there's a herd just south of the road up to Bison Point parking.

I reach the parking lot and there are only a few cars parked just after 9am.

There are 5-6 bison along the bottom trail but the trail up to the top is clear. As I head up, those bison that were hanging out (there ones that caused me to walk only 1/2 the trail on Friday) are still there but along the fence line. I think I'm good. So up I go.

I pass those bison along the fence without issue (I actually couldn't even see them as I walk by).

Then it's just a quiet walk around the loop. 

There are 2 bison on the far side of the White Rock meadow and that's all the critters I find.


Along the causeway on the way out, I do see a Kestrel perched on a mile marker.

Good day!
