Elk Grazing in Grand Teton National Park

Elk graze in Willow Flats with Mount Moran in the background in Grand Teton National Park.

The weather’s been doing a lot of interesting things, making it seem as it winter realized what time of year it was and began doing all it could to last a bit longer. I’ve had this shot for a couple of weeks now when it began acting up again, as you can see from all the fresh snow covering Mount Moran in the background. That day I headed up into Grand Teton National Park to find some bears, but came up unsuccessful. Instead I did find a herd of elk grazing near the road in Willow Flats with some impressive, dramatic scenery behind them, courtesy of Mother Nature.

Free Roaming Photography, Photography by Mike Cavaroc, is my portfolio and vision of the natural world. As a nature and wildlife photographer, I am striving to reach the angles of landscapes that haven't been documented before as well as finding the dramatic nature of wildlife in its natural state.
