Jackson Lake

Jackson Lake, Grand Teton National Park, WY
Canon PowerShot SD770 IS, 1/400s, f/2.8, ISO: 80
This is Jackson Lake at dawn in the middle of summer in 2012.  We stayed for three nights at the park.  I woke up early on this particular morning and walked along the shore of the lake from the campground to Signal Mountain Lodge.  This place is gorgeous, but it lives in the shadow of adjacent Yellowstone.  There are many reasons why Yellowstone is the place people come to visit, but it has no answer for the Teton Range.  These mountains aren't large like the Sierras but look as rugged as anything I've seen in North America and don't take a back seat to any of the West's great mountains in terms of beauty.
