  "summary": "IDA-certified island in the Great Salt Lake — Salt Lake City dome to the east.",
  "intro": "Antelope Island floats in the middle of the Great Salt Lake, connected to the mainland by a causeway, and its open, treeless terrain gives a 360-degree horizon rare so close to a major metro area. It was Utah's first Bronze-tier International Dark Sky Park, just a short drive from Salt Lake City.",
  "established": "International Dark Sky Park (Bronze tier) since 2017.",
  "drivingFromToronto": "About 40 minutes north-west of Salt Lake City via I-15 and the Antelope Island Causeway (Syracuse exit).",
  "bestTime": "Year-round; the park runs scheduled dark-sky and astronomy events — check the Utah State Parks dark sky events calendar.",
  "highlights": [
    "One of the closest true dark-sky sites to Salt Lake City",
    "Reflective salt flats and lake surface add contrast to night photography",
    "Free ranger-led dark sky programs held periodically"
  ],
  "tips": [
    "Causeway entry fee applies — check current rates before you go",
    "The lake's brine flies and gnats can be intense near the shoreline in summer",
    "Bison roam freely on the island — keep a safe distance, especially in the dark"
  ],
  "whatToSee": "Milky Way over the Great Salt Lake and, unusually for a spot this close to a metro area, occasional views of aurora on active geomagnetic nights.",
