Grand Teton Spring Reflection

Photograph Story | Grand Teton Spring Reflection

Grand Teton National Park was a last minute addition to my road trip up and across the country. I had never been and figured I should make the stop on my way to Yellowstone National Park.

I am very glad I gave myself an entire day and morning to explore the park. As always, I wish I had more time to visit the area.

The views were breathtaking. The wildlife was abundant and fun to watch. And, most importantly, the moose love this part of the country. Sadly, I did not see a single one, even though every person I ran into had seen one earlier that day in every corner of the park.

I was actually on a moose stakeout when I captured this spring reflection photograph. I woke up for sunrise and patiently waited at the Oxbow Bend pullout to see if a moose might appear in or along the river. Three different people recommended this spot for a sunrise sighting.

I waited for several hours, with my fingers crossed. No moose. That said, the view, weather and peaceful morning experience was well worth my time. I plan to spend many mornings enjoying this scene, hoping for a moose to come along.
