Grand Teton National Park is breathtaking!!!!

This past September my dad and I took a photo inspired adventurous road trip to Grand Teton National Park. I had never been before and had no idea what to expect… Oh my gosh!! Was I completely blown away! As we entered the park I was swooning over all of the yellow and orange that blanked the meadows and created a magical tunnel around the road… I should let you know that fall is my absolute most FAVORITE time of the year!

Of course it wouldn’t be a road trip with the two of us if weren’t lost and driving in circles or in the opposite direction of where we should be going… But it’s about the journey, right?? If we hadn’t taken a wrong turn then we would have missed these beautiful horses grazing in a meadow with the awe inspiring Tetons in the background!

It’s unplanned moments like this that are truly inspiring!

Our first day in this part of the park was breathtaking. The rigidness of the Tetons is unlike anything I have ever seen!

These colors!!!!

And just when I thought it couldn’t get any prettier I turned around and this was happening…

What a sunset!! And all those fall colors!!

The next day we tracked down this gorgeous barn that I had seen numerous times online when researching for our trip… It was a gloomy morning, but I love the mist in the background… You can’t tell from the photo (due to the fog), but those rough mountains are right behind the barn!

That afternoon we went for an awesome hike and the views just kept getting better and better the further we went!

Nature really is the best!! It’s truly magical!

and then on our way back… BLUE SKY!

After our hike we went back to a gorgeous spot that we had scoped out earlier… Oh my gosh!!! These views just kept blowing me away! Could this get any more breathtaking??

And THEN the sun came out and lit up the trees! This was my favorite moment of our time in Grand Teton National Park.. I was completely humbled and in awe of the absolutely stunning masterpiece that God has created.

I love that little bit of red and orange on the left!!

Later that evening we went back to the barn! AND found another one as well!!

This shot reminds me of the Wizard of Oz when Dorthy is in Kansas before the tornado! What a dramatic sky!!

THEN the unthinkable happened… I woke up before the sun!! BUT it was SO worth it!! This is my favorite image of the trip! The way the sun started to rise and began to light up the valley.. I was in complete awe!

So, if you’re planning a trip this year I HIGHLY recommend going to Grand Teton National Park (in the fall!). IF you’re not planning a trip… You should start now!!!

I had an absolutely amazing time! I love the photo adventure trips that I am blessed enough to take with my dad (the most amazing photographer I know!) Check back next Tuesday for some awesome images from our trip up through Yellowstone National Park!
