Alongside Cascade Creek

A few summers ago, my family and I went on a summer vacation where we spent time at Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. One of the highlights of our trip was a day hike we took in Grand Teton National Park. Throughout the hike, we were treated to beautiful scenery, alternating between dense pine forests, grassy meadows, and rocky outcroppings. All the while, we followed a creek deeper into the mountain range, with the Tetons towering over the valley.

My submission is based on some of the scenery you will see hiking in the Tetons or in a similar mountain range. In the center, a creek of snow run-off with a small waterfall in the foreground cuts its way through the rock as it heads away from the mountain. Further back, a dense pine forest flanks either side of the creek. Towards the background, the snowcapped mountains tower everything with the sun rising between the peaks. To better show my scene, I included 2 pictures with the picture frame hidden.
