You can click on the social media links at the bottom of the page for the Roadtrip Images channels on those two platforms. I also have been posting in between photos to Facebook and Instagram almost daily. I try to get one of these posts out each week with an image and expanded story. With snow already appearing at the higher elevations, adding some fall color will make for some nice scenes. The cold weather that blew in recently will hopefully trigger things into a higher gear. In this case I had to blend two exposures together to adequately capture the foreground and the sky.Ĭolor change here is slowly starting to materialize. You’re facing directly west into the sun so getting any detail in the mountains themselves is difficult. People were focused on the scene and working their cameras to try and capture the moment. Sunsets over the Grand Teton Range can be a little difficult to shoot. As it started to grace the mountain tops and cast nice beams of light out across the valley the discussion quieted down. Driving through Grand Teton National Park offers stunning views of the Teton Range, along with the oppotunity to view wildlife. Thankfully, it had cleared here and visibility was quite good.įortunately the sun broke through the heavy clouds and cast its warm glow on the scene in front of us. We ran into quite a few people that had left Montana, Oregon and Idaho because the smoke was so thick. There was lots of discussion among folks comparing notes as to where they had been, where they were going, and how bad the smoke had been from the western fires. As sunset neared many more people showed up. In the spring when the snow melts, you can ride on the road until April 30. The Teton Park Road is open to biking from November 1 until it is snow covered. The road is groomed for skiing, snowshoeing, and hiking from mid-December to mid-March. ![]() So I went back to the car, grabbed the camera gear, and got set up. The Teton Park Road is closed November 1 to April 30 from Taggart Lake Trailhead to Signal Mountain Lodge. ![]() I recognized the view after we had been there a bit. It turned out that this particular spot was where I had shot from many years prior. We still had an hour plus before the light might get interesting so I left the gear in the car and we scouted out places to set up. When we got to the lookout there were few people there and it was windy. The drive up is a nicely paved road with the typical tight turns of a mountain road. The clouds were pretty heavy so it was a gamble as to whether any nice light would come through. We decided to make the drive for sunset and see what developed. Signal Mountain has always held my interest since it gets you up above the trees. There are so many viewpoints for the Teton Range it’s difficult to decide which one to shoot at any particular time.
