The last of my “big” trips this year was my autumn Yellowstone/Grand Teton photo tour, which took place in late September. In case you missed it, I filed my usual trip reports from the parks during my week-long stay. Now that I’ve returned home, I’ve had a chance to process all of the images from the trip, which presented a mix of wildlife and landscape photo opportunities.
View the full gallery of 64 new photos here. A short preview is below.
The autumn colors were in fine form in Yellowstone, and just rounding into peak shape in the Beartooth and the Grand Tetons.
A frosty bison poses on a cold morning in Swan Lake Flat.
The new overlook of Grand Prismatic Spring offers a safer, clear viewpoint of North America’s largest hot spring.
During my latest visit to the Beartooth Pass, we found two mountain goats, still sporting the remnants of last winter’s fur.
A moose cow and calf graze on aquatic plants.
We were lucky to spend some time with this lone otter at Schwabacher Landing.
A horseback riding tour in the Grand Tetons.
I can’t help but play around with slow shutter speed blurs when I find a grove of autumn aspens.
The elk rut produced a magical morning for us on this trip, when we found several bulls in action during a cold sun-drenched morning on Swan Lake Flat.
The moment this bull followed his cows onto a steamy, shadow-strewn hillside, it became my favorite elk shoot to date.
