Wrapping up the end of day two in Grand Teton National Park.

(Full post, with additional photos, on my site: andrewflenniken.com/2025/03/07)

After being awed by the ghosts of the Tetons, I pulled my jaw up off the ground and hopped back in the Jeep. I figured that I'd finish the day where it started, in the Oxbow Bend area. I'd noticed in the morning that there was a road going around to the the other side of the Bend, a place the map labeled "Cattleman's Bridge Site". There was no signage off the main road for it, but it looked promising.  So after grabbing a last shot of Mount Moran for the day, down I went.

Color photo. Three Common Merganser ducks, swimming from left to right. One is slightly ahead of the other two. They are have reddish heads, orange bills, with grey and white bodies. The water is softly rippled, reflecting the green of unseen trees.

After exploring Unexpected Ghost Town the weather finally turned rainy, so I headed back to camp and took a nap. When I woke up the sun was shining and I thought "Hey, good chance of rainbows? Let's go look!"

So I hopped in the Jeep and went looking. Sure enough, there was a rainbow. A double, at that!

And then I rounded a corner of the road and saw something that took my breath away.

In the late afternoon light, with the sun above and behind them, the glowing air still filled with mist and rain, there were the ghosts of the Tetons, marching away along the horizon.

A Ghost Town and a Ghost Range, in the same day.

I almost forgot to take photos. Almost.

(If you're supporting small businesses today, I'd like to take this moment to remind you that I am a one-person business and have a fine selection of photos available as prints in my site's store. From my eyes to your walls! :) )

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S

Color photo. The silhouette of Mount Moran in Grand Teton National Park. It is backlit by the sun, and sunrays are visible in the misty air in front of the mountain. In the foreground, is a broad expanse of land. Nearby are trees with leaves of gold and green. The middle distance is a field of tall yellow grass dotted with green shrubs. In the far distance, the sunlight glints off a lake, on the far shore of which are dark trees.

As promised last Friday, today is Unexpected Ghost town.

As I posted before (almost exactly a year ago, cripes!), I was looking for a way down to the Snake River to get some shots of early fall foliage. I came across a dirt road going in the general direction I wanted, and followed it until it ended at a wooden gate. The road continued beyond the gate, going downhill towards the river, and someone else was walking down that way with fishing gear. So I grabbed the cameras and followed.

Around the gate and down the road was a treat: the ruins of the Bar B C Dude Ranch, founded over a century ago in 1912. The buildings are somewhat preserved by the park, which is why you can see newer roofs on some buildings, but have mostly been left to the elements for decades now.

The post I made last year has even more photos, if you want to go and check it out, and one of them is for sale in my site's print store. :)

Next Friday: From ghost towns to ghost mountains.

Gear used in these shots: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S

Color photo. A row of three log cabins, their windows boarded up. The closest two have fresh green roofs, and the third has a red roof. Behind is a line of dark green trees. The jagged peaks of the Tetons loom above them all, below a blue sky dotted with puffy white clouds.

More photos from the afternoon of day one at Grand Teton National Park in September of 2023.

Mount Moran gets some more love, as it should, and Grand Teton itself makes an appearance, along with the rest of the Cathedral Group, and Cascade Canon in black & white.

And finally a shot I got because I looked in my rear view mirror and saw the sliver of moon rising over the range behind me.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3

Color photo. Mount Moran, in Grand Teton National Park, rising up dramatically from a line of dark trees. There is a thin strip of water in front of the trees and then, leading down to the bottom of the frame, a field of orange and golden shrubs. At the very bottom of the photo is a cluster of short green trees.

After Glacier, my next stop was Grand Teton National Park. I arrived at the Colter Bay campground late in the afternoon, set up, and relaxed after the long drive.

The next morning I got up just before dawn and walked down to Jackson Lake, taking in the sights. And wow, were there ever some sights!

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3

Color photo. Mount Moran, in Grand Teton National Park, lit by reddish early morning light. It is reflected in the misty waters of Colter Bay, on the far side of which is a tree lined shore.
