This photograph was taken at Jenny Lake on the trail to Cascade Canyon. A forest fire had left blackened, burnt tree trunks amidst a new carpet of green growth. When I took the photograph, I hadn’t noticed my husband in the background admiring the view of Jenny Lake. Initially I was a bit annoyed that he had photo bombed my pure landscape image. But after consideration, I think his presence makes the image complete.
Grand Teton National Park is located in northwestern USA just 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park. The jagged peaks of the Teton Range rise dramatically out of the Great Plains to an altitude of 13,800′ (4200m). Grand Teton’s pristinely preserved wilderness features valleys covered with Columbine and Indian Paintbrush wildflowers, raging mountain rivers and rugged, snow-covered peaks. The park is home to many different kinds of animals including grizzly bears, elk, moose and marmots. Due to its stunning beauty, Grand Teton National Park is one of America’s most popular national parks.
