Winter Storm Over the Gros Ventre Mountain Foothills

Winter Storm Over the Gros Ventre Mountain Foothills
A winter storm blankets the Gros Ventre Mountain foothills in snow in Grand Teton National Park.

I’m continually amazed at the effects the weather has on the landscapes here; creating both diverse and unending diversity in an otherwise stagnant scene. In any landscape in any part of the world, a little crack of light coming through the clouds creates a great deal of drama for what’s typically an average scene. There’s a small ridge you crest as you drive out to Kelly, Wyoming as you begin driving along the southern end of Antelope Flats in Grand Teton National Park. Upon driving over that small ridge, I looked ahead to the Gros Ventre Mountains to the east and saw that they were the only part of an incredibly vast landscape lit up. I immediately pulled off the road to get this shot.
