Jackson Hole In Color
For nearly 25 years, my family and I have spent time, mostly in summer, in Greater Yellowstone -- that section of Wyoming, Idaho and Montana said to stretch from south of Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park, up through Yellowstone National Park, and into the wild regions around it, including the Beartooth Highway.
We call this gallery Jackson Hole in Color, but there are a handful of pictures from outside the valley, in what is referred to as Greater Yellowstone. Greater Yellowstone is a semi-intact ecosystem, very much under strain because of Jackson Hole’s population growth and development, not to mention oil and gas exploration down near Pinedale, but it is one of the wonders of our country, and planet, that so much of it is protected, enabling bison, bears, wolves, antelope and moose to move fairly freely across broad swaths of territory. A friend says that it is difficult to take a bad picture in Jackson Hole. We agree, and these are some of our personal favorites.
Because these images have been taken over a long period of time, they include pictures taken with a film Leica M7, digital rangefinders (M8-M11), and most recently, the Leica SLs. If you enjoy this gallery, and wish to see images of the region in Black and White, try here.
