We took a ride on this train this morning, it was a short ride but Ken had a good time getting photos.
Then this afternoon we drove to and through the Great Basin National Park. Nevada's tallest mountain is in this Nat'l park, Mt. Wheeler, it has a little permanent ice a reminder of the glaciers that once covered the area.

When we visited Antelope Island in Salt Lake we saw 3 new birds. Antelope Island is a large island in the Salt Lake and it is a Utah State Park. It has a large herd of bison and antelope and an interesting history of cattle and sheep ranches.
We didn't take a dip in the lake there were a few out.
Nothing really lives in the lake but brine shrimp which many migrating birds love, we saw ibis, curlew, stilts, avocets and a new shore bird for us phalaropes which are really fun to watch as they swim around in a tight circle.
Tomorrow we head south again to Las Vegas for a couple of days to visit more grandchildren.
