5.00Yes you should tour the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island, and absolutely yes you should choose this tour. Clayton is very knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, and history of the area and full of surprising facts like he was on a championship cheer team in high school and led safari tours in Africa and worked on sea turtle conservation in Asia. He’s your guy. Book it now and thank me later!
