A photo story

A red fox in Grand Teton

A red fox was walking the edge of a paved road in Grand Teton National Park, in September 2024. I took this from the truck window. It has a rust-red coat, dark legs, and a white tip on its tail, moving along the shoulder with tall pines and low green plants beside the pavement. It was evening, around 52, with almost no wind.

The fox kept to the edge of the road, just past the trees, and I stayed in the truck and took the clip. A couple of days earlier I had seen two bears near Jackson, and a couple of days later I was at Snake River Overlook at sunset.
