See beautiful views over Salt Lake from the highest point on Antelope Island. The hike is fairly easy with no real obstacles, and elevation gains of 2050' in 3.5 miles. Duration is 4-5 hours.

This is a fairly easy hike starting at the parking lot near the trailhead. You will encounter little or no obstacles on your hike, just a nice incline leading you to the highest point of the island.

You will be able to see lots of buffalo roaming around most of the island on your way up. Be sure to drink lots of water if hiking in the summer as there is virtually no shade on this hike. Once you reach the top the views of the mystic Salt Lake are undeniably one of the coolest sights in the country.

After you finish the hike, drive around the island to the beach and try floating in the water. The buoyancy is incredible as if somebody is pushing you out of the water as you float on your back. Definitely a must on the bucket list.

Hike the Frary Peak Trail

02/18/26

Frary Peak is filled with natural wonders! From singing meadowlarks to herds of bison and echoes of coyotes in the distance, Antelope Island is a sanctuary for wildlife. The trail feels like walking through Scotland with it’s rock encrusted hills surrounded by the Great Salt Lake. There’s a decent amount of elevation gain (~2200ft) so bring some fun snacks and drinks to enjoy at the summit. Starting around 3pm made for a wonderful sunset hike down with only a handful of people sharing the trail. 10 out 10 would recommend a day trip here!
