Elk in rut. When we arrived at this meadow, there were 5 bulls vying for the attention of a group of females. This bull was easily the largest of the 5 and managed to keep most of the females by his side.

Small but mighty. Pikas are one of the few mammals that spend their entire lives in the high alpine tundra. When most other mammals begin to migrate to lower elevations, pikas are gathering grasses and flowers that will last them through the harsh winter.

Colorado sunsets never disappoint. No color-enhancing needed.

The last of this season's fall photos. The hike through this forest was amazing. Golden aspen leaves carpeted the ground and every time the wind rustled the trees, more fell like confetti. It was such an amazing spot.

I love finding these intimate landscapes hidden along the forest floor.

It doesn't get much better than sunrise in Rocky Mountain National Park, overlooking Bear Lake.

Sunrise in the Grand Tetons is an amazing site to witness. Luck favored me when I got up early on this morning and headed to Oxbow Bend to make these classic images of Mount Moran. Every morning after this the valley was socked in thick fog with low hanging clouds obscuring the mountain range. I feel very fortunate to have captured this sunrise on one of the few mornings the sky was clear.

I probably sound like a broken record, but the abundance of wildflowers in the Grant Tetons this spring is unreal! They made for a beautiful setting while this female elk grazed and occasionally checked in with her herd that was just out of sight behind the tree line.

With this crazy wet spring the western states have been enduring over the last few months, the wildflowers were in full bloom during our visit to the Grand Tetons. It was amazing to see the valley carpeted in yellows, oranges, reds, and even purples.

Made it home after an amazing week in the Grand Tetons. This was my first visit to the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem and has quickly become my favorite place. No doubt there will be many return trips in my future, but until then I'll be making like this fox and catching up on some sleep.
