Come to Where the Buffalo Still Roam

   Not many places you can go to see the American buffalo. Nope, not many at all. But, one is right up the road at Antelope Island. Just a hop, skip, and a jump -- if you want to call it that -- from the Salt Lake International Airport.
   I wonder, if we could do better of marketing this attraction. Would many come just to see buffalo -- the buffalo of wild west fame, the buffalo that roamed where the pioneers trod? They come to see the bears of Yellowstone Park, why not the buffalo of Antelope Island? Bears are common enough. Why not the less common, and historically significant buffalo?
   More would come than the island could accommodate. So, the tourism would need to have limits placed on it. Still, it would provide some tourism. And, hailing this as the place where  buffalo can be sighted, would increase the overall aura of the Wasatch Front as a tourist destination.
