Caption: Mormon Row, Grand Teton National Park
On the western edge of Wyoming, just south of Yellowstone, the Teton Range runs from north to south like the world's most impressive border wall. In the late 1890s, Mormon settlers arrived and put down stakes, and today the remnants of these homesteads, protected within Grand Teton National Park, provide some pretty incredible photo opps. Seen above is the John Moulton barn.

Caption: Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone National Park Of all of Yellowstone's attractions, the Grand Prismatic Spring may be my favorite. One of the largest hot springs in the world, it's certainly the most picturesque, its vivid perimeter colors a result of bacterial colonies that feed off minerals in the water. Find the spring in the Midway Geyser Basin, along the Firehole River.

Caption: Jenny Lake A focal point of Grand Teton National Park, Jenny Lake sits at the feet of the main peaks and, when the water is still, casts reflections of this remarkable landscape. Visitors can boat on the lake, and many hiking trails originate from its shores.

Caption: Devils Tower In northeastern Wyoming, Devils Tower rises from the hills like a beacon. Some geologists believe the igneous formation—basically hardened magma—is all that remains of an ancient volcano. The tower features prominently in the lore of Native American peoples of the region and is sacred to several tribes.

Bison, bears, wolves, elk—Yellowstone is one of the best places in the world to see big mammal species in the wild. In summer, the park is home to several elk herds, totaling from 10,000 to 20,000 individuals.

Yellowstone Morning Glory Pool is another popular and well-photographed feature of Yellowstone. Usually placid, it can erupt as a geyser as a result of seismic activity.
