A Blast of Color

An Eclectic Gallery of Colorful Photos from Jackson Hole and Nearby Region

Unless you are up very early for sunrise, much of the “color” in the winter spans a limited portion of the color spectrum. Other than a little blue in the morning snow and a little color in the sky, much of the landscape is generally brown, gray, black and white. Same for the wildlife! Photos on this page were selected from my archives because they have color punch! I opted to limit the text so the images could speak for themselves. Enjoy!

January 2019 Daily Journal for GTNP & JH

Happy New Year 2019 from Mike Jackson at Best of the Tetons!

January 1st, 2019 – Tuesday

Please take a minute and register to sign up to follow this site. I’d love to have another couple hundred new subscribers from the group visiting the site in January! MJ January is a sneaky month. I suppose someone could find all kinds of negative things to say about it, such as “It’s very cold!” or “There’s not much open!” Actually, both statements are correct, but for anyone willing to brave the cold and explore, January can be a great month for photography and touring the area.

Great Horned Owls of Jackson Hole

Silent Hunters of the Night.

Jackson Hole is home to numerous species of owls, including Great Gray Owls, Great Horned Owls, Pygmy Owls and Saw-whet Owls. I’ve also heard reports of Burrowing Owls, Long-eared Owls, Short-eared Owls, Barn Owls, and Flammulated Owls. Great Gray and Great Horned Owls are the largest, and at least from my experience, are the most plentiful. “Plentiful” might be an overly generous term to define their numbers, of course.

17.2 Miles to Go 3.3 Miles in Grand Teton National Park!

Time to keep 2.5 miles of Antelope Flats Road open year-around.

When Darla and I moved to Jackson Hole 32 years ago, the old saying was: “Between Labor Day and Memorial Day, you could shoot a canon down Broadway or Cache and not hit anyone or anything.” Turn the calendar to 2018 and you’ll immediately notice that things have changed. Jackson Hole is not as “remote” as it might have been decades ago. Airports, hotels, and winter activities are catering to ever increasing winter crowds. Tourists are more demanding, more worldly, and more mobile with their 4-wheel drive SUVs and trucks. I’ve personally witnessed this change! A 2.5 mile section of Antelope Flats Road has been closed during the winter months since we moved here. I suspect it has been closed for decades before our arrival—probably dating back to 1943 when the eastern portion was established as the Jackson Hole National Monument then later included in Grand Teton National Park.
