Grand Teton National Park
Posted: July 08
 
There is a dirt road that heads east from the inner park road that provides some compositions you don't see all of the time. The panos provided show what I mean. If you are heading north on the inner park road, look for the right hand turn just before you enter the forested area were you turn to go to Signal Mountain.

I also introduced Chuck to the area across the road from the turn to String-Leigh Lakes. Also provides some compositions you don't normally see in photos.
 

 
 
South Fork Teton Canyon
Posted July 07

In my opinion, the South Fork of Teton Canyon has the most impressive display of wildflowers of any trail on either side of the mountains.
