A fall sunrise in the Grand Teton National Park from my favorite morning location. While crowds of people flock to the more popular locations in the park, I arrive here before dawn and am the only person here. I grab my gear, headlamp and my bear spray, since the grizzlies are the one thing I need to be aware of. I do not run into anyone else here and only see a couple heading out to hike from the parking lot at dawn. I have this lake to myself and sit down with my camera, listen to the elk bugle echo off the mountains and enjoy the most beautiful solitude.
