Some twenty years ago I shot an autumn photo of Mt. Moran reflecting in the Snake River from Oxbow bend. It was early in my infatuation with photography and the image was mediocre at best. But the weather was perfect, and I had all of Oxbow Bend to myself – not another soul around. At that time I didn’t recognize how extremely rare the solitude would prove to be. But I remember standing there in the cold autumn air, drinking in the incredible panorama laid out before me. I was hooked. Read More »

The drive to Lone Pine, California is a long one from Utah, but I love exploring new roads especially when they cross the wide open spaces of the western U.S. We wanted to take a scenic (or at least a new) route on our way to our combined Mt. Whitney climb/Yosemite family vacation, so we decided to begin our trip by taking Highway 6 through the west Utah desert, including a stop-off at Great Basin National Park. The trip certainly didn’t disappoint in the “wide open spaces” department. It was a lot of driving though small rustic towns and vast desert landscapes with plenty of elbow room.

There were some other things that we did on our Fall trip to the Tetons besides run from bears. We even drove up into Yellowstone for a day. The weather was a mix of snow early and sun later. Temperatures at night weren’t bad. Here are a few of the images captured when we weren’t running for our lives.

Last week my family and I went on our annual autumn pilgrimage to Grand Teton National Park. We love fall in the Tetons and have visited the park dozens of times during September and October. This year however, we had a unique and unexpected experience that will surely become a family-vacation legend.

Summiting the Grand Teton (13,770 ft) August 10, 2007
Ok. I know it’s taken a while to get this posted. But of all the training hikes I’ve been on to get ready for Kilimanjaro, I want to post this experience. I have a good friend that offered to take me up the Grand Teton (13,770 ft) as a shakedown hike. So we took our families to Grand Teton National Park for a few days. We took them on the boat ride on Jenny Lake and hiked to inspiration point. We camped in Gros Ventre (grow-vaunt) campground and on Friday, August 10 left our families to play in the park while we made a summit attempt.
