Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains are sacred land to the Crow people who have lived there for millennia. It’s easy to see why they so loved and worshiped this land.
In autumn, ancient aspen carry heavy loads of red, orange and golden leaves, as captured by Philip Reedy on a recent visit to Wyoming. He photographed these during his route north from Evanston to the Tetons, passing through Bridger-Teton NF and in the Bighorn mountains just west of Buffalo, WY.
Between Evanston and Jackson, mountainsides were covered with aspen and crimson mountain maple. Inside Grand Teton National Park, golden cottonwood populated the valley while cadmium yellow aspen clung to the mountainsides.
