Grand Teton National Park
Wyoming, USA
A photographer could spend days simply trying for a perfect picture of the Grand Teton Mountain Range.  The park contains a large open area that makes possible countless different angles of the Tetons.  I started with a reflection.
From further away, an entirely different group shot of the Teton Mountain Range, aided by clouds.
And a closer Teton gathering from the same spot.
Trails go into the mountains and I tried one.  But the local wildlife was easier to find in the flat areas.
Moose, which I had met in Alaska a year earlier, like being photographed.  The video has great scenes of a mother and her two active calves at Grand Teton.  This quiet drink was the best moose still.  
A tip led me to stake out a beaver dam.  This beaver did seem awfully busy, in keeping with its reputation.  I enjoyed filming the beaver swimming and walking.  With that flat tail, its positive beaver identification.   Next I headed north the National Park System's grand jewel: Yellowstone.
