Free ranging bison, surrounded by the Great Salt Lake, perfect trails with insane views for hiking/mountain biking/trail running, or just an amazing place to go for a drive...
It’s 45 minutes north from the house by car. Go for sunset. In late summer there can be no-see-ems at certain time of day so beware— but most of the year it’s not an issue.

If you’re driving, watch out for red light running!
It’s a well known fact that people in SLC constantly run the red lights. Always wait a moment after the light turns green to double check.
