Glacier Nation Park at Logan Pass

I captured this image at sunset near Logan Pass in Glacier National Park. In the background is Clements Mountain on the right and Mt. Oberlin on the left​. This national park is rightfully called the Crown of the Continent because of its pristine forests, alpine meadows, rugged mountains, spectacular lakes, and waterfalls.

Swan Lake Yellowstone NP

I captured​ this scene of Swan Lake and snow-covered mountain peaks in the background in Yellowstone National Park. Swan Lake located in the northern part of Yellowstone National Park, a few miles south of Mammoth Hot Springs. A beautiful, serene location to visit in the park. ​You may even sea grizzly Bears across the lake.

Mammoth Hot Spring

I captured this photo of the Mammoth Hot Spring Terrace in Yellowstone National Park. Thermal activity here is extensive and has been present for several thousand years. There are many hot springs in this area.​​

Bryce Canyon Amphitheater

I took this photo with a view of a portion of the Amphitheater and line of hoodoos in the background from Bryce Point along the rim of Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. The chaotic, ​destructive force of water, not wind, is responsible for the fantastic shapes in Bryce Canyon.

Half Dome Yosemite

I captured this scene of Half Dome at sunset from Glacier Point overlook in Yosemite National Park. This spectacular overlook provides a commanding view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome​, Yosemite Falls, and Yosemite’s high country. The best time to visit is early spring or fall before the road closes for the season.

Beaver Meadows

​​I captured this beautiful scene of beaver meadows from the Trail Ridge Road in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Trail Ridge Road is one of the park’s standout attractions. The Road is one of the most scenic routes in the United States, as well as the country’s highest continuous paved road—in other words, the highest route that doesn’t merely ascend to a dead end.

Colorado National Monument

I captured this scene from Rim Rock Drive on top of the Colorado National Monument. The Colorado National Monument preserves one of the grand landscapes of the American West. But this treasure is much more than a monument. Towering monoliths exist within a vast plateau and canyon panorama. You can experience sheer-walled, red rock canyons along the twists and turns of Rim Rock Drive, where you may spy bighorn sheep and soaring eagles.​

Colorado Grand Valley

I captured a ​scene of the fertile Grand Valley from Rim Rock Drive on top of the Colorado National Monument. The Grand Valley, named for the Colorado River —once known as the “Grand River”—that runs through it, is located on the Western Slope of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. The Monument consists of towering monoliths within a vast plateau and canyon panorama.

Towers of the Virgin at Sunrise

I took this photo at 6:45 AM to catch the early morning light at sunrise as it cast a beautiful orange glow on the Towers of the Virgin in Zion National Park.​

Upper Emerald Pool Area Zion National Park

I took this photo of a small stream as it drops off the ledge to the middle emerald pool — a view of Zion Valley from an elevation of 4500 feet.​

Sunset at the Grand Canyon North Rim

I captured this sunset from Cape Royal lookout on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Cape Royal is the southernmost viewpoint on the North Rim. It has the most comprehensive panorama of any Grand Canyon overlook. The magnificent gorge occupies about 270° of the horizon, from Marble Canyon in the north, south over Palisades of the Desert, and westward for many miles towards the central South Rim visitor area.​​

Grand Canyon at Sunset

​I took this photo from Cape Royal on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon as the sun was setting creating a beautiful orange glow on the canyon cliffs.

Mammoth Hot Springs Lodging Area

I captured this scene of Mammoth Hot Springs Lodging Area in Yellowstone National Park.

Merced River Yosemite

I captured this view of the Merced River as it flows through Yosemite Valley. The Merced River may be the most iconic river in Yosemite National Park. The ​River is naturally free-flowing throughout the park, Protected as a National Wild and Scenic River.

Mountain Reflection Yosemite Valley

I captured this scene of a mountain reflection in Cooks Meadow in Yosemite National Park. ​

Brooks Falls Alaska

​I captured this scene of the Brown Bears catching salmon in Brooks Falls. These waterfalls are located within Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Situated on the Brooks River a mile and a half from Brooks Lake and an equal distance from Naknek Lake.​

Brown Bears on Naknek Lake

I captured these Alaskan Brown Bears strolling along the shore of Naknek Lake in Katmai National Park Alaska.​

Herd Of Bighorn Sheep

I captured this herd of Bighorn Sheep​ grazing on the wildflowers near the trail leading back to Hidden Lake in Glacier National Park. The Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep are the most massive wild sheep in North America. Muscular males can weigh over 300 pounds and stand over three feet tall at the shoulder.

Jackson Glacier Overlook at Sunset

I captured this image of the Logan Creek flowing through​ the valley when the Sun had just set at the Jackson Glacier Overlook in Glacier National Park. This national park is rightfully called the Crown of the Continent because of its pristine forests, alpine meadows, rugged mountains, spectacular lakes, and waterfalls.​

Badlands NP Yellow Mounds Overlook

The Badlands were formed by two basic geologic processes: deposition and erosion. The sedimentary rock layers of Badlands National Park were deposited over millions of years. The layers similar in character are grouped into units called formations. Erosion began in the Badlands about 500,000 years ago when the Cheyenne River captured streams and rivers flowing from the Black Hills into the Badlands region

Badlands Pinnacles Overlook 1

​I captured this scene at​ Badlands Yellow Mounds Overlook in the Badlands National Park, South Dakota. The Badlands formed by two fundamental geologic processes: deposition and erosion. The sedimentary rock layers of Badlands National Park deposited over millions of years. The layers are similar and grouped into units called formations. Erosion began in the Badlands about 500,000 years ago when the Cheyenne River captured streams and rivers flowing from the Black Hills into the Badlands region.​​
