The Collection
Grand Teton and Yellowstone
These two parks share an ecosystem and a grizzly population that moves freely between them. Sagebrush flats, river bottoms, high meadow above timberline — a Teton or Yellowstone grizzly might be visible from a road pullout one morning and gone into the backcountry for a week the next. The images in this collection came from returning to the same country across many seasons, at the hours when a bear is most likely to still be out. See the wider landscape of this ecosystem on the Grand Teton and Yellowstone photography pages.
Glacier National Park
Glacier's grizzlies work some of the steepest, most rugged country any bear in the lower 48 calls home — alpine basins, avalanche chutes thick with berries in late summer, terrain that keeps most of the park's grizzly population well away from any road. That difficulty is part of what makes the images from Glacier distinct from the Teton and Yellowstone work in this collection.
Black Bears of the Same Country
Black bears share this range with grizzlies, and the two are easy to confuse at a distance — color alone does not reliably tell them apart. Browse the dedicated black bear collection → for that side of the work.
What Makes This Collection Different
This is the harder half of the bear collection to build. Alaska's coastal bears are concentrated by salmon and tolerant of observers; a Rocky Mountain grizzly offers neither advantage. What exists here came from persistence across decades in one place rather than a season in a productive location — the same fifty years that shaped every other body of work on this site. See the full bear photography collection → for the complete range, including the coastal Alaska work this collection contrasts with.
Print Formats
Lumachrome HD TruLife Acrylic — a transparency print face-mounted to museum-grade acrylic, producing depth and luminosity suited to the texture of a grizzly's coat against mountain terrain. The TruLife face carries an anti-reflective coating and significant UV protection, which reduces glare and helps guard against fading in bright rooms. Arrives ready to hang.
Framed Lumachrome HD TruLife Acrylic — the same panel finished in museum-quality Roma Italian wood molding. Arrives ready to hang.
Chromaluxe Metal — dyes infused directly into aluminum for exceptional contrast and a clean, contemporary presentation. Arrives ready to hang.
Museum-Quality Fine Art Rag Paper — heavyweight cotton rag with archival pigment inks. Arrives unframed for your own framing specification.
Prints are made from ultra-high-resolution medium format capture — 100 megapixel — for portraits and considered work, and from high-speed 35mm cameras where fast action demands it. Both enlarge to 120 inches and beyond; the medium format files hold the finest detail at that scale, and each image is offered only at the sizes its own file genuinely supports. Architectural and mural-scale installations are produced through a separate custom process — contact me to discuss a specific wall.
Every print is signed and numbered and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity recording the title, date of capture, edition number, size, medium and materials. Everything ships fully insured. If a print does not arrive in perfect condition it is replaced immediately at no cost.
For Interior Designers and Corporate Art Consultants
Rocky Mountain grizzly photography is a natural fit for lodge, ranch, and mountain-region interiors, and pairs well with the Grand Teton and Yellowstone landscape work elsewhere on this site for a coordinated regional collection. Trade pricing, room preview mockups, high-resolution digital proofs, custom sizing, and multi-piece collection pricing are available to verified design professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where were these grizzly bears photographed?
Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Glacier National Park.
Are these bears photographed in the wild?
Yes, without exception — no zoos, no game farms, no controlled settings, ever.
How is this different from the Alaska grizzly collection?
Alaska's coastal bears are concentrated around salmon runs and habituated to observers. Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier grizzlies are far more dispersed and wary, which makes this a harder, slower body of work built from decades of knowing the ground. See the Alaska grizzly collection for the coastal side of the work.
Are these prints limited edition?
Yes. Edition sizes vary by image and reflect how repeatable the subject is. Every image page states its own edition, and that number is fixed permanently the day it is published.
What sizes are available?
From 16×20 inches up to the largest size each material allows. Custom sizing is available, and architectural or mural-scale installations are produced through a separate custom process — contact me with your wall dimensions.
Can I see how a print will look in my space?
Yes — send a photograph of your wall and the image you're considering, and I'll send back a scaled mockup showing it in your actual room. Free, no obligation. Request a room preview →
Do you offer trade pricing?
Yes — trade pricing, room mockups, high-resolution digital proofs, custom sizing and multi-piece collection pricing for verified design professionals. Trade services →
How long does production take?
Allow 4–6 weeks from order to delivery. Custom orders and the holiday season may run longer. Rush production is available at a 20–30% premium — contact me if you have a date to meet.
Can I see prints in person before purchasing?
I work from my Island Park, Idaho studio and my Washington State studio. A private gallery by appointment is planned — contact me for current availability. Virtual consultations by email or video call are available now.
