There are few views more dramatic than the sudden elevation of the Grand Teton range beyond the Snake River. Towering 7,000 feet over the valley, the rugged mountains dominate the landscape at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Snow, storms, seasonal color or the soft glow of sunrise transform the scene, making it one of the most photogenic places in the world. Photo by Kyle Miller.

See these elk at Tule Elk San Luis National Wildlife Refuge. Once estimated to have a population of less than 30 individuals, these unique California Tule elk now number more than 4,000.

Fall at Denali National Park in Alaska means gorgeous autumn colors and hungry brown bears. To get ready their long winter sleep, bears spend the summer and fall packing on the pounds – gorging themselves on salmon, berries and grass. Sleeping snugly in their dens, breathing only once a minute and dropping their heart rate to 8-10 beats a minute, bears will live on their fat stores during the dark, cold winter. Photo by Jacob W. Frank, National Park Service. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 9/29/16.

Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness in Idaho was established in August, 2015, following unanimous passage into law by Congress. This 23,916 acre wilderness features hiking, fishing and equestrian use, as well as opportunities to just “get away” and enjoy some solitude. The view from Jerry Peak alone is worth the visit.

Sunset ignites the clouds around Mount Rainier’s summit in Mount Rainier National Park in Washington. To see this, hike up to Glacier Overlook and enjoy wonderful views of forests, meadows, streams, mountains and wildlife. There’s so much to experience, you might even miss the marmots. Can you spot the one in this picture? Photo by Howard Snyder. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 5/22/16.
Southern Idaho’s Snake River plains are dissected by several deep river canyons that offer spectacular scenery and world-class bird viewing and photography opportunities. Close by is the Bruneau Canyon Overlook. It’s the only readily accessible spot from which to view this deep canyon and was recently protected by Congress as a Wild and Scenic River. The viewpoint provides a taste of one of the more remote corners of the U. S.: the Bruneau-Jarbidge-Owyhee River Canyon system. These canyons offer whitewater boating, fishing, hunting and unlimited exploring for properly equipped adventurers. Photo by Bob Wick, BLM.

The Owyhee Canyonlands Wilderness features unique rhyolite pinnacle formations known as “hoodoos,” cold-water streams, and canyons ranging in height from 250 to over 1000 feet. This remote and rugged landscape has outstanding opportunities for solitude, very low levels of human impacts, and primitive recreational opportunities.
The Bruneau-Jarbidge River System flows north from the mountains of northern Nevada through the basalt and rhyolite canyons of the Owyhee Uplands to the Snake River in southern Idaho. Nearly 40 floatable miles of the Bruneau River are designated as wild and scenic.

Dogwoods (Cornus florida) are often among the earliest trees to turn red—occasionally as early as August. Their summer green first changes to a dull red, but the color brightens as fall progresses. This one, growing beside the Little Pigeon River in Greenbrier, is just beginning to show its brilliant fall color. Great Smoky Mountains National Park, from the Park’s Facebook page.
