With snow rapidly melting in Jackson Hole, I was able to catch one last shot of winter up on The Sleeping Indian (aka, Sheep Mountain) above the valley. It was on the night before I was expecting to send back my 7D and just wanted to put it through some more intensive tests before doing so to make sure. As it turns out, everything came out looking great, so I wound up holding on to it. Thus far, it’s been performing great!
For those not familiar with The Sleeping Indian, it’s a landmark known mostly to locals. Many tourists are completely oblivious to it since it towers above the valley to the east, while all their attention is typically held on the view to the west, which would of course be the Tetons. However if you’ve never noticed it, travel anywhere between the National Elk Refuge, starting roughly two miles north of Jackson (specifically where you cross Flat Creek at the Refuge pullout), and look east anywhere between there and the airport and you’ll get a good glimpse of a formation that looks a lot like a Native American lying on his back, hence the name.
