In this video I explore a couple of islands out in the desert of what I consider to be one of the West’s most underrated destinations.

In 1975 me, my sister and bil went on 2 week camping thru the west. On the way we were to camp on the beach area of Salt Lake. One second out of car we decided to get a motel for the night! So many biting insects we ran and put our feet in the lake, ran back to car and got the heck out of there!
Beautiful views !
That was fun…particularly enjoyed the drone shots and music. Thanks! 🙂
How can an island be a desert? Did you mean amazing deserted island?
I can’t believe you waded out in that pink water. So glad you took Cassie on that hike!
good
Glad you still visit parts of Utah. Brings back a lot of memories for me from 2017/2018 when visiting from New Zealand. The reflection in the lake IS stunning. My favourite photo (hanging on our living-room wall) is of my wife standing on the waters edge with herself, distant mountains and a rich blue sky reflected in the mirror-flat lake.
Kind of like when the "great inland sea" dried up, leaving the Great Plains high and dry. And there weren't even any people around to use up all that water. That probably smelled petty bad at the time too. Just saying.
Yes the pink water showed up fine on video. It made me think of the Pink Himalayan Salt sold in stores.
I enjoyed the video. Thanks!
People need to blame someone or something for the global warming! But we need to learn how to adjust to the new environment to survive. thank you ALL stay safe
Awesome bison! Thanks for the great video. Awwww…you and Cassie!! 💜👍😎🇨🇦
What time of year is good to visit in order to avoid the bugs and biting flies?
Definitely not very appealing so multiple visits is a bit strange
I've always wanted to visit the site in the Great Salt Lake where Smithson's Spiral Getty is. I'm wondering if there is any water surrounding it anymore. Maybe it isn't there anymore. I'd like to see it someday.
Nice View from up there, thanks for sharing…
Many years ago when I was in Boy Scouts we camped on Stansbury Island. Not sure if the Brine Shrimpers are still working or not but there used to be a couple boats that harvested brine shrimp (Sea Monkeys). Got to take the wife out to Antelope Island someday as we pass that are often enough. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Great videos!
??? Any rattlesnakes? Another great video!
I love the romantic note you ended on about your bride!
I suppose now we can call it the Great Salt Puddle.
Is that pink water toxic? Usually red/pink water is a sign of a toxic algae bloom?
Hi, I came across your channel and like what I see so subscribed. Happy Thanksgiving.
That dust is "SALT" I have been there a bazillion times…😁😁
They mine salt…they have salt factories right there. I have hauled salt out of there..( drove semis 46 yrs.)
I've been to antelope island a few times – it's a great daytime excursion. Kind of sad to see it shrink away. When you do your drone footage, can you tell me what speed you're using? Do you film at 60fps and then slow it down, or just use slow motion mode to get those great panoramic shots? Cheers!
Cool 👍
love that overhead drone footage of you in the colored water! nice one! I was wondering about walking on the salt, if it was hard and hurt, and then you answered my question. thanks for taking us here so I could see it, as I will probably never go here myself…..the hordes of flies alone will keep me away……another great vid, Tristan. Thanks!
you really got some beautiful shots in this video!
Love your SUV. Best off road vehicle-good purchase
Hey, cool shot with the new invisible selfie stick at about the 4::15 mark! I've always wondered about these islands when I pass by on the freeway. I'll have to check them out the next time I'm down in Utah.
Incredible area, thanks for sharing and good story at the end
I remember as a kid I could buy "sea monkey's" and after visiting the Salt Lake I realized where they came from! 😆Little Shrimps 🙂
Thank you for this wonderfully nostalgic video, for me anyway. Worked for the BLM at the north end of the Lake in the early 80’s. That area has such a unique beauty and history. There is another mountain group south of Stansbury called the Newfoundland mountains. Very remote and had difficult access,but strikingly beautiful.
What’s your take on what Park Junkie posted on the National Parks requiring permits for YT content makers that visit Nat. Parks and post their vids? I was shocked.🦌💌❤️🚙👍✌️
Thank you for another great video
Epic episode, wow had no perception to this being Salt lake !! Our country offers so much landscape! So much space, we are far from overpopulated.
Drone footage was awesome. Plus good music choice.
Hey! That is one of my favorite hikes too. I normally hike it only when the temperature is getting below freezing to kill off the bug s
Love your videos and always will, but the Ukraine lapel pin is very cringe to say the least man.
As usual, I enjoyed the scenery and your wonderful energy!
It is beautiful. I suppose there is fresh water out there for the bison and sheep? So many lakes and rivers are drying up around the world. Have you seen the Mississippi?
Super cool video!!
Where is your accent from?
Man, I’ve really sold the Great Salt Lake short. I remember floating there as a kid and being amazed at the odd extra buoyancy. Do they still swim there, or did the beach get too long and mucky? Amazing island summits. Really never considered even visiting them. Outstanding imagery as usual. Thank you.
