Figure 1. Autumn at Oxbow Bend, Grand Teton National Park.
I made a short trip to see the fall color of Grand Teton National Park last week. Last time I visited here in fall was 2010.
The golden leaves of Aspen and cottonwood trees peak in late September. For many people, this is the prime time of Grand Teton National Park. Of many places, Oxbow Bend Turnout is a hot spot to see the fall color. The combination of aspen trees and Teton Range makes visitors come and go all day long. It is also a good spot to sight wildlife, including moose, trumpeter swan, white pelican, osprey and waterfowl. You may even hear bull elk bugling in a distance.
If it rains, or wind blows hard, the fall color may fade as golden leaves drop. I was lucky to get two sunny days for some good pictures before the weather turns rainy.
