Spring in Grand Teton National Park is a magical time when the landscape transitions from the quiet of winter to the vibrant awakening of nature. This is the time of year that bears emerge from hibernation (often with cubs!), elk begin migrating to higher elevations, and moose and bison graze in the valleys.

As the snow melts, the landscape bursts into life with colorful wildflowers carpeting the meadows and hillsides. Lupine, Indian paintbrush, and glacier lilies add splashes of color to the scenery.

Join acclaimed wildlife photographer Jennifer Leigh Warner on this photographic journey through the iconic Grand Teton National Park.  You’ll visit famous locations such as Moulton Barn and Schwabacher Landing as well as off-the-beaten-path areas in search of many wildlife species that inhabit the park, including; bear, coyote, fox, moose, elk, pronghorn and many bird species.

This time of year the majestic Grand Teton mountains will typically be capped with snow making for a beautiful backdrop for photography.  With Jennifer’s expert guidance you will leave with some exceptional photos.
