How long could you sit in the woods watching a bear eating cherries in a tree? I waited for at nearly 2 hours for her to come down and cross the water again. Only for her to finally come down to a nook in the tree for a nap 😂

I spent a lot of time this past trip doing slightly easier sunrise locations vs the ones that take longer hikes or backpacking. Kinda wish I spent more days sleeping less and hiking more. Being in my 30s is catching up to my willingness to have less sleep for a photo. Next year I plan to spend more time backpacking on my trip out west!

Luckily I did capture this new location in the Tetons, even if it was a short easy hike. The best part of a sunrise hike, even a mile, in the Tetons is that you will likely have the place all to yourself. Unlike those spots that require less or even no hiking at all.

This year’s time out in Wyoming turned out to be incredible for grizzly sightings. Last year I searched constantly and only managed to spot two bears, both of them far off in the distance. This year was completely different. I saw more than ten grizzlies, and several of them were close enough to my car for me to capture a handful of strong photos.

Locals and wildlife management identified this particular bear as Grizzly 610 traveling with her two cubs. She is a descendant of the well known Grizzly 399, a bear that many people followed for years and that became a symbol of the Tetons. Grizzly 399 was struck and killed by a car in 2024, and seeing 610 with her cubs felt like a reminder that her lineage continues to thrive in the region.

To anyone commenting or messaging me and I don't reply. I have basically no service the past week. Only get it for short times and over some wifi. It's been a good trip so far. I can't wait for the rest of the week!

Here are a few photos I've edited so far. Some are from my Fuji and some from my Sony.

The grizzly count this year for me were way better than last! Apparently this one has been named Snow according to the locals.
