The smoke this year both hampered good sunset opportunities and created spectacles of light. I would have vastly preferred no smoke in my sky for a variety of reasons, but as we crested Hurricane Pass late in the evening the spectacle of light that confronted me was both awesome and humbling. As a side note - when they name a place Hurricane Pass and its located in the Tetons... there appears to be a reason for such a name. Quite the wind tunnel testing spot if you're looking for that. Also a great place to install some wind turbines if it wasn't a national park. Naturally we might have slept on top...
