The trip to experience Wyoming in winter once again via our National Parks system has lived up to all its expectations. Every time I visit our conserved areas of this great nation it reconfirms to me the beautiful country we live in and how proud I am as an American to be a part of it; as well as bringing attention to them and their struggles. I hope you have all enjoyed my photographs from the region and have become aware of what beauty there is to behold in your own backyard. All of this wouldn’t be possible without the help of several. Dina for her companionship, support and and ability to put up with a frantic perfectionist photographer, the Wyoming Inn for providing a fabulous establishment to rest our heads, cook our meals, and eat their delicious fresh baked chocolate cookies, and of course Wigwam Inc.

(What appears to be two feet of snow was nothing. I am just able to get my footing without sinking through. Many spots had snow up to my waist and over my head further up into the mountains.)

As you can see here it can get cold with constant sub-zero temperatures, sudden hoar frost, and constant exposure to and trudging through snow. For this Wigwam was most generous and provided me samples of their socks including their Gobi liners (for quick wicking of moisture), then their Ice Sock, Canada, and Base Camp Fusion for ultimate warmth. There was no need for toe warmers while I was out and they performed beautifully. Keeping me warm and kept the moisture away preventing the zapping away of my warmth. nothing worse then ice cold digits in total wilderness.

I hope all this has inspired you to go out and see what there truely is worth saving and keeping for future generations to behold. Feel free to drop me a line on any questions whehter it be gearing up for a trip like this or approaches to your photography in cold weather. Take care and keep on inspiring.
