Jackson Lake On A Hazy Morning

Jackson lake morning 4.jpg

I got to spend a few nights camping in Grand Teton National Park back in 2017 and I somehow managed to get up early enough to catch the sunrise my first morning there. Unfortunately there wasn't much of one that morning, at the time it seemed like half the west was on fire and haze/smoke was a bit of an issue.

I was camped at Colter Bay, just about a hop, skip, and a jump from Jackson Lake so naturally that is where I set my tripod up. There was some really low level clouds that morning, half the time you couldn't see much of anything on the far side of the lake.

It was so calm and peaceful there, I'd love to go back when conditions are a bit more favorable. Anybody got a place in mind that they aim to get back to as soon as conditions improve? I couldn't pick just one so I have a list.

I'm not in too much of a hurry though, it's cold as hell there right now (-17C) and I'm not a fan of winter, much less winter in the mountains. I'd just as soon hop hemispheres every 6 months or so and just dodge winter entirely but I can't afford to just yet.

Y'all have a good new years and don't do anything I wouldn't do! Doesn't really narrow things down much, just don't call me for bail money :D

Awesome reflection photos!

Beautiful photos

Stunning dude! I'd like to say I'd like to come camping with you but am afraid it might come off all brokeback Mountain. Lol.

Hey, have a great NYE if you're out and about; Stay safe and sound man, watch your six. I'll catch you in the new year I'm sure. It's going to be better than 2020, didn't you hear? Lol.

Thanks! Lol, that's not where my mind would have went with that, I'm always down for getting out in the boonies with good people. Once covid is less of an issue we should see about organizing some hive camping expeditions...

It's going to be better than 2020, didn't you hear?

I'll believe it when I see it! Thanks man, hope you and yours have (had already?) a good one too! I'll see you in 2021!

Nothing quite like sitting around a low-burning campfire watching the stars whilst in the middle of nowhere. It's such a relaxing and energising moment for me.

When 2021 actually is better than 2020 I'll believe it is...Until then it's SNAFU.

Such a breath taking view from your photos collection that brings vibes and life for the new year. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a healthy New Year 2021.

Thanks! Hope 2021 is healthy and happy for you too!

Awesome photos, I would love to see the Grand Tetons again, just so majestic. We were there back in 1978 when we doing a cross country road trip. I want to stay in Jackson Hole, it's such a quaint village. Although, after so many years, it's probably different now.

just don't call me for bail money :D

Good one😊

absolutely beautiful!
