“Firery Skies in the Tetons”

 Fall in Grand Teton National Park is characterized by ever changing weather.  Clouds roll in, snow can fall, and the sunsets can be spectacular.  During a recent visit to Grand Teton National Park we were treated to this spectacular sunset taken at Schwabacher Landing.

"Bugling Elk along the Madison River "  Yellowstone National Park in the early Fall is a great place to see many Roosevelt Elk during the mating season.  Here we see a bull elk bugling denoting his dominance of his area and a warning to other bulls to stay away from his herd.

This little guy was one of many who established a Prairie Dog Town near Devils Tower, Wyoming.  These little guys are always looking for a handout, but the National Park Service Rangers will ticket you right into Federal Court if you feed them.

Yellowstone Bear Cub

This young bear although quite young appered to be on his own.  The mama bears cut their cubs loose at about 18 months.  That may have been the case with the guy.

Young Black Bear

The Thomas Murphy Barn Grand Teton National Park

This black bear was spotted standing along the road waiting to cross.  As we approached he shot back into the woods.  I exited the vehcile and sent my friends on to return a little later.  Sure enough he circled back to cross the road in another place.  I caught this  brief view of him has stepped up on the log lit from behind by the sun sinking in the west.

Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River

The Thomas Murphy Barn Grand Teton National Park

Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River

Cascading from the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow, Lower Yellowstone Falls is the largest volume waterfall in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. These falls  are 308 feet  high, or nearly twice as high as Niagara Falls. . Captain William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition made a note in his journal about hearing of the falls but did not believe the story. The first European to see the falls was likely French fur trapper Baptise Ducharme who claimed to see the falls in 1824, 1826 and 1839. Jim Bridger and fellow explorer James Gremmell claimed they visited the falls in 1846. 

Tower Fall Yellowstone National Park

The Thomas Murphy Barn Grand Teton National Park

Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River

Tower Fall drops 132 feet down Tower Creek just before the creek converges with the Yellowstone River. A hellish collection of towering volcanic spires surrounding the creek gives Tower Fall its name. There is an excellent view of Tower Fall from an easy-to-reach roadside overlook. A 1-mile round trip hike drops down to the Yellowstone River alongside Tower Creek and previously connected to a viewing platform at the base of the falls. Unfortunately, the last section of the trail was washed out by rock and mud slides in 2004, and the trail to the base of the waterfall remains closed.

 "Yukon Black Bear"

My Wife, Leona, Sister In Law, Floy, and I encountered this Black Bear along the Alaska Highway as we were on our return trip from Haines, AK in June of 2014. This big fellow is enjoying a summer snack along the roadway and was not overly concerned about us being there.

The Resting Bull

"The Resting Bull"

Each fall the biggest and strongest bull elk compete to see who will mate with the females.  It is a physically draining process for the males and they are exhausted by the end.  Here a big bull elk takes a well deserved rest.
