Roaming the Wild: Portraits of Wyoming Grover C. Ratliff

Jackson Hole is home to some of the most iconic landscapes in North America. In this land of harsh winters and short summers, wildlife survive and thrive. People from all around the world travel here to savor both the rare vistas of the high Rockies and have the chance to observe bear, moose and elk. It is an environment like no other, covered in snow most of the year yet blanketed by wildflowers for a few precious months. This place is both powerful and delicate. Grover Ratliff has lived in Jackson for over a decade and has pursued his passion of capturing the Wyoming scenery with a joyous zeal. Through his eyes, you will experience Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks in a way that only a long stay can bestow. Only by patience and perseverance was Grover able to photograph the images in this work. He wishes you to enjoy these photographs as he has and share them with your family and friends as a reminder of the wild places in America.
