Omg, those are awesome. The Grand Tetons are quite possibly the most beautiful mountains in North America. Simply stunning.

WOW! Absolutely gorgeous. I've never made it up that way, but everyone I know who has says its beautiful and worth the trip. Those mountains are crazy!

Very scenic pictures. This is an incredible area and the Upper and Lower Mesa Falls have go to be some of the most beautiful waterfalls I have been to.

Here's a few more snapshots for Grand Teton fans:

This is my friend's house in Jackson, by the way. Needless to say, I am insanely jealous:

Thanks. Wasn't sure if you'd mind my intruding on your thread, but my pics didn't seem worth their own thread (they are just snapshots--I don't usually try for anything more) but I thought they might be enjoyed by the group. The first one, of course, took advantage of the light. In the Tetons, it seems like it's all about the light.

They're gorgeous.

I have this urge to break out in a John Denver song.

^^^But this Rocky Mountain high is not in Colorado but Wyoming and Idaho.

Great pics Marcus. What / where is that stream or cascade we see in the fifth pic of the first post? Also, what time of year were these pics taken (do the waterfalls dry up in summer)? Thanks in advance!

Boizean · #16 Posted **Mar 27, 2007, 5:06 AM**

Very nice pics. That first pic looks like the potato fields outside (North) of Ashton, Idaho. My Grandfather was born and raised there. The 100 year old house is still standing.

The nearby St. Anothony Sand Dunes make quite a contrast.

^ The Upper and Lower Mesa Falls never dry up but the flows will vary with the snow pack.

Thanks! sorry, i'm not sure where that stream is or what it is called. But These pics were taken in June.

And Boizean, youre exactly right about where they were taken. Very interesting
