Nature’s reward at the end of the day is a brilliant sunset, with oranges, reds, and yellows melting across the sky. While you can witness the sunset pretty much anywhere, Antelope Island is one of the best places in Utah to photograph one. Check out these 12 photos of unforgettable sunsets that were taken on the island.
Antelope Island is an oasis on the Great Salt Lake. Covering 42 square acres, the island is home to bison, antelope, mule deer, jackrabbits, and many more creatures. It also draws as many as 300,000 visitors every year.
You can escape most of the crowds by hanging out here to witness the sunset, and it's definitely worth the overnight visit to capture the vibrant sunsets here.
Camp overnight at Antelope Island State Park so you can enjoy the sunset and the fresh air. There are three campgrounds to choose from: Bridger Bay, White Rock Bay, and Ladyfinger.
The island is invaded by biting gnats every spring from April through June. These annoying little insects aren't affected at all by insect repellant. The park recommends fine-mesh head nets, available at the Visitor Center gift shop.
