Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch

High Plains of Eastern Montana

Bynum is about 10 miles out onto the plains. The Bob Marshall Wilderness is about the same distance behind where this photo was shot. When environmentalists prevailed in getting Grizzly Bears reintroduced to the Bob Marshall Wilderness, it was with their absolute assurance that the bears would never leave the Wilderness Area. Pretty funny, huh? Did they not know that Grizzlies were originally plains animals, or were they simply lying to accomplish their ends? Anyway, Grizzly visits are a nightly event in Bynum now!

Mt. Timpanogos

Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch

The peaks of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area form the backdrop for the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch, a 6,000 acre working cattle ranch that is a living laboratory for research, teaching, and demonstration of integrated livestock/wildlife conservation. The stark barrenness and colors of early morning in late Fall in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains contrast well with the snow that has already brought Winter's icy grip to the higher country.

Winter comes to the peaks of the Wasatch Mountains. Fall is still in control, but the icy fingers of old man winter are about to wrest it away! Mt. Timpanogos, Utah County, Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Utah, USA, October 18, 2010. f/5.6, 1/500 second, ISO 400.
