Oct 13, 2017 — The Frary Peak Trail leads through interesting grasses on Antelope Island to the highest point, Frary Peak. On the way down, I noticed that a short bushwhack would potentially take me to the start of the Elephant Head Trail. The only other way to get there would have been to take a 2.7 mile dirt road called the White Rock Road on flat and boring ground each way (you can see this road, and it looks absolutely awful), which makes absolutely no sense when the Elephant Head Trail was basically a jump away from the Frary Peak Trail. I won't say that I actually did this bushwhack because there was a sign at the Antelope Island State Park entrance reading to stay on designated trails. If you decide to ignore this, please rock hop to avoid destroying the grasses.
The Elephant Head Trail doesn't take you to the summit of Elephant Head. Seriously? Whoever came up with the trail system on Antelope Island State Park was on drugs. Bushwhack up the ridge to the summit, where you get really nice views of Frary Peak and the Great Salt Lake.
