Bridger-Teton National Forest

 
As evening approaches my attention turns to finding an isolated campsite. I drove off the main highway for a couple of miles and then hiked another 1.5 miles up to the top of this hill in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. I estimate my altitude at 7500ft and night time temperatures reaching 22F. Armed with a hunting knife and bear repellent I settled into a restless sleep, all the time worrying about a visit from a grizzly. I woke up at 4:30AM and was completely amazed by the star field. By far the most dramatic I have ever witnessed in my life.
