Teton Sunrise from Schwabacher Landing

Sunrise lights up the clouds above the Teton Mountains as seen from Schwabacher Landing.

I’ve been working on getting up more often for sunrise while there’s plenty of green on the ground, something I missed out on last summer. With it being my first summer up here then, I was surprised at how quickly things change around here. As a result I’ve been pushing myself to catch more sunrises this summer and especially get out hiking once all the snow has melted from the mountains. The other day I woke up at 5:15am and just barely caught the sun beginning to hit the peaks of the Teton Mountains from Schwabacher Landing in Grand Teton National Park. There were a few other photographers there as well from out of town and each of us heard what sounded like a moose splashing behind some trees, hoping for it to make an appearance. It never did, unfortunately, but the scene was still an extremely peaceful and inspiring scene to see.

Thanks, Ray! It was great chatting with you as well. I hope we cross paths again soon.

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. As a result, every animal photographed on this website was done so in its wild and natural habitat.

Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I thoroughly explore the wonders of Grand Teton National Park and its surrounding areas, including the Gros Ventre Wilderness, Yellowstone National Park and much more.

I've come to love this region much more than anywhere I've lived, and with your helpful support, I can continue to give back to this community that keeps me enthusiastic each and every day. Read more...
