National Park #4: Grand Teton National Park.
Although much smaller in size to its neighbouring Yellowstone National Park, the Tetons offers much. The three Teton mountains, from which the park gets its name, suddenly rise 7000 feet from a series lakes and grassy pastures. The imposing nature of this mountain range gives this park its trademark look.
Its a look that has been recreated many times by many artists and photographers. In fact one of the trademark photos by Ansel Adams has been my background image on my computer, so it was a special experienced to finally see it for my self and attempt to recreate it. Snake river weaving its way at the base of the Tetons...
The park also gave us a first glimpse at some of the wildlife we are expecting in Yellowstone. Bison! Large and aggressive looking but somewhat placid cow cousins dot the landscape at every turn. More about bison to come in a later post.
Mount Owen!
