Antelope Island Sunrise
I was meeting with some biologists on Antelope Island for a story on mule deer this morning (photos coming soon) and on the way, the morning sun hit Frary Peak. This is one of my favorite places in Northern Utah to watch the sunrise.

Most years, the large bulls are not rounded up with the rest of the herds due to their aggressive nature. This year, all of the animals were brought in so that genetic testing could be down in order to see if there are cattle genes mixed in with the herd. ©Benjamin Zack |
