Sunday Stills – Favorite Landscape – 01.31.21

Colter Bay in Grand Teton National Park

SQUARES – The Hoppy Kind

This jackrabbit got spooked by us while we were bushwhacking up the side of a mountain in Death Valley National Park.

SQUARES – Kinda Ready

Living In The Moment – Grand Tetons National Park – Jenny Lake – Sunset

When we got to the lake, the sunset peaked through broken clouds with the wind blowing hard enough to almost knock me off my feet a few times. When you have strong winds in a mountain environment, it’s a lot like gusty winds in a city with tall buildings. The wind gets channeled into certain areas and greatly magnifies the force. So you can be walking in an area that has light winds and you walk out from around cover and wham, the wind hits you with a big invisible surprise. With the wind blowing and the sun saying hello and goodbye through the clouds, it was time to take a few moments and explore one of the crown jewels of Grand Teton.

Living in the Moment – Day 3 – Mt. Washburn – YNP

Mount Washburn is located in the north central part of Yellowstone National Park with a peak elevation of 10,243 feet (3,107 m).

Living in the Moment – Day 2 – Trout Lake

Trout Lake was worth the 150 feet of elevation that we had to climb to get to this peaceful clear lake.
