Oxbow Bend Turnout

 




Signal Mountain and Mt. Moran dominate the background of Oxbow Bend with a rich array of pine, spruce and aspen trees.  There were many ducks in the water at the far end of the lake. The water surface was very calm and reflected the clouds and trees.  Another nature painting in many colors in process.

Valley View at Signal Mountain Summit

 


More spectacular views of the valley from the Signal Mountain Summit.

Signal Mountain Summit




We drove up to the summit on a narrow road to unsurpassed panoramic views of the park.  The road continues to a dead-end parking area, and there is a short trail that leads up a flight of steps.  It is a spectacular spot for views across the valley and the Teton range.
