License to Chill

 

From Grand Teton National Park

It’s funny how different a national park—any national park—feels early in the morning. Before the crowds arrive, you get a glimpse at what made these parks worth saving in the first place. By 11am or so, as the park fill up, that feeling often flips, making you wonder where else you can possible go to find solitude.

But those first few morning hours are perfect.
