Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah shimmers in sunlight and snow. We love how the snow clings to the trees and hoodoos (odd-shaped pillars of rock left standing from the forces of erosion). What a terrific winter scene! Photo by Curtis Kautzer. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 12/28/15.
Eric Schuette loves taking photos of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Every trip into the park can be a special moment. “The mountains were completely covered by clouds. As we hiked into the darkness you could see little signs of clearing and then just before the sun came up the clouds thinned and we were left with a beautiful winter scene looking out towards Long’s Peak.” Photo by Eric Schuette.

Snowy mountains are gorgeous, but can be challenging models. Casey Withers was recently at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming trying to capture the sunrise. It was a cold morning and clouds were moving in. “This shot was set up originally as a test shot as we waited for sunrise, but three minutes later the mountains were covered. Glad I was prepared.” Photo by Casey Withers. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 12/22/15.
This is a different kind of traffic jam at Yellowstone National Park. Bison weigh up to 2,000 lbs and can pack a lot of attitude. They can run up to 35 miles per hour, but these appear to be taking their time. Photo by Allen Beyer. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 12/27/15.
