Hi Lee! I just use my iphone camera! Jason got me the 16 Pro since it has a 5x zoom -- it's really come in handy for shots like the bison!

Wow, Lisa, you and J brought back many memories of our week-long stay and hikes at Grand Teton last fall. I was happy to see photos of the pronghorn - the Park's herd was decimated the winter before when heavy, deep snow prevented them from reaching food in their winter feeding grounds. Staff was afraid the herd wouldn't recover enough for adults to teach the young how and where to migrate. I pray they will recover. Safe travels.

Hi Peggy! I didn't know that about the pronghorn -- so sad. :( We did see a bunch of them though -- way more than what was shown in the photo. We've been seeing a bunch here in Yellowstone too, so hopefully all will be well.

The sunsets here have been incredible! The sun doesn't set behind the mountains until around 9 pm, and then there's color in the sky until 10!

I love the Tetons. Seeing your great pictures and reading about your days is wonderful. I have been to many of those places in the Tetons. It was so nice to revisit the beauty with you. We enjoyed the boat ride across Jenny lake and the climb to Inspiration Point. 7200 feet. You have many memories of the Tetons.

Yellowstone was too crowded for us. I hope you are going to Glacier. It’s awesome.

Hi Catherine! Yay for a trip down memory lane!

Yellowstone has been way too crowded for us too. We're trying to get to places as early as possible! Yellowstone itself is amazing tho!
