Returned from the Tetons

I just got back from a photography trip to Grand Teton National Park where we had a great time shooting in the mornings. The best time of day to shoot the Tetons is sunrise and, since sunrise was at 5:40 AM, I got to climb out of my comfortable sleeping bag into 33 degree temps at 4:45 AM each day. Despite that little bit of difficulty the photography was excellent. We had great conditions due to the storms (dramatic skies are wonderful for landscape shots) and there weren’t too many people.

We camped at Jenny Lake, which is right at the base of the three Tetons, and that is an excellent camp ground if you are ever planning on going up there. It is first-come-first-served and fills up by about 11:00 AM each day, so you’ll need to be quick. They also only allow one vehicle and one tent at each camp ground (no RVs or trailers) but the site has easy access to many trails and has fantastic scenery.

I’m still processing photos from the trip but I’ll post them as I complete each series.
