Color photo. The silhouette of Mount Moran in Grand Teton National Park. It is backlit by the sun, and sunrays are visible in the misty air in front of the mountain. In the foreground, is a broad expanse of land. Nearby are trees with leaves of gold and green. The middle distance is a field of tall yellow grass dotted with green shrubs. In the far distance, the sunlight glints off a lake, on the far shore of which are dark trees.

After exploring Unexpected Ghost Town the weather finally turned rainy, so I headed back to camp and took a nap. When I woke up the sun was shining and I thought “Hey, good chance of rainbows? Let’s go look!”

So I hopped in the Jeep and went looking. Sure enough, there was a rainbow. A double, at that!

And then I rounded a corner of the road and saw something that took my breath away.

In the late afternoon light, with the sun above and behind them, the glowing air still filled with mist and rain, there were the ghosts of the Tetons, marching away along the horizon.

A Ghost Town and a Ghost Range, in the same day.

I almost forgot to take photos. Almost.
