Northern Utah was in many ways a Crossroads long before the emigrants, settlers, railroad and military came here. As early as pre-Fremont Native Americans, we find evidence of trails and trade routes across this geographic area. The trappers and traders, both English and American, knew the area and crisscrossed it following many of the Native American trails. They also established new routes. Explorers sought additional routes to avoid natural barriers such as the mountains and the Great Salt Lake. As emigrants and settlers traveled west, knowledge of the area spread. The Crossroads designation was permanently established once the Railroad spanned the nation.

  • Stop Consumers from Getting Buffaloed by Mislabeled Meat Bison Day Celebrates Cultural, Ecological An
    Weekly Update from the National Bison Association A news and update service exclusively for members of the National Bison Association. (All items copyright, and not to be reprinted without explicit written permission of the NBA) November 2, 2018 Senators: Stop Consumers from Getting Buffaloed by Mislabeled Meat A bipartisan group of five U.S. Senators today pushed federal regulators to immediately halt the sale of imported water buffalo meat products labeled in a manner that leads consumers to believe they are buying North American bison. Republican Senators John Hoeven (ND) and John Thune (SD), along with Democratic Senators Michael Bennet (CO), Heidi Heitkamp (ND) and Tom Udall (NM) sent a letter to FDA Deputy Commissioner Stephen Ostroff and USDA Acting Under Secretary Carmen Rottenberg urging prompt action to respond to the National Bison Association’s complaint regarding imported water buffalo meat being labeled only with descriptions such as “Natural Ground Buffalo.” “Bison ranchers and marketers have worked diligently for more than two decades to build a strong market for bison meat. Their success was built on developing a relationship with the public based upon the great taste and high quality of bison meat,” the senators wrote. “Because the term buffalo is widely used to describe bison, the failure to label water buffalo transparently and accurately could be misleading to the American consumer.” The National Bison Association in September filed a formal complaint with the FDA and USDA regarding water buffalo being marketed in a manner to deceive customers into believing they were buying bison meat. The complaint was prompted by a surge of products in the human food and pet products categories containing water buffalo meat that were only labeled as “buffalo.” Dave Carter, executive director of the National Bison Association, noted, “Americans consider the term buffalo to describe bison.

Visiting the trail at sunrise on a cold winter day can be magic! The trail follows a dirt road as it ambles south on the east side of the island to Unicorn Point at the very southern tip of Antelope Island. Compared to the other trails I have visited on the island; this one also had the most wildlife. Maybe it was the day, or maybe the animals prefer the quiet east side. I counted 7 coyotes and dozens of buffalo on a cold winter morning along the trail. Note: The trail is 8 miles round trip, except when it isn’t! In winter, the road is closed at Fielding Garr Ranch, adding 3.2 miles and bumping up the round-trip distance to 11.2 miles. Season: I recommend this trail in late fall, winter, or early spring. Bugs and heat can be oppressive during the warmer times of the year. Tags: hike, dog friendly, family friendly, beginner, access: paved Trailhead The trailhead is reach by first getting to Antelope Island.
