The Grand Tetons rise from the plains as you look to the west. Rain and clouds hid the mountains for almost two days before the foul weather cleared and blue skies framed the mountain range. The weather in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem can change quickly as the temperature at Colter Bay campground during our mid-September trip would drop to almost freezing each night. Every morning you could see that snow had fallen in the higher elevations with more of the peaks covered in white. | |

![]() A bull elk, top, bugles in the early morning sun east of West Yellowstone. Another bull observing his surroundings with grass tangled in his antlers, above, before rubbing against a tree to exhibit his power to any other bull in the area. |
Photographing the elk involves rising before daylight to allow enough time for travel and be in position when the sun comes up. During mid-day the herd will move into the trees to browse and bed down. They will return late in the afternoon. Visit my ELK PAGE for more pictures of this regal animal. |
