Gros Ventre River Sunset

The Reward for Following Motivation

Gros Ventre River Sunset

Motivation. It’s a term that’s become more and more foreign to me since living within Jackson, Wyoming, rather than on the northern fringes of it. I’ve noticed myself heading out to catch fewer sunsets because there’s a little bit of extra distance.

Phelps Lake Reflection

I headed out with a couple of friends yesterday for a day-hike into Death Canyon in Grand Teton National Park to personally check on the snow levels deeper into the Tetons.

Sunset Thunderstorm Over Balsamroot Wildflowers

I’m taking a short break from all the grizzly bear posts for this wildflower shot I got shortly after it got too dark to continue photographing one of the bears. I was hoping for a better composition, but the light was changing so fast, I was lucky just to get this shot off!… Keep reading...

Grizzly Bear Rock Stars of Grand Teton National Park Video

Grizzly Bear ‘Rock Stars’ of Grand Teton National Park Video

This is a video compilation of three of Grand Teton National Park’s most popular bears of the summer season of 2011 (thus far).

All grizzlies have been seen along the roadsides of the park, thus adding to their lovable nature.

The first is a blonde grizzly that has eluded traps and so has simply been nicknamed both Butterball and Blondie.… Keep reading...
