Drizzlepuss Dusk, Mt. Moran

January 11, 2015 by

Here is one of the most beautiful campsites in the Tetons. Below is Leigh Lake and further right are String and Jenny lakes.

11,485 feet
24" by 96" | Available | Oil on linen

Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw...
-Black Elk, from Black Elk Speaks

I bivoucked at this spot on Mount Moran to catch the evening and morning colors in pastel. Drizzlepuss was named on the first climb by Paul Petzoldt, and 3 climbers from the Colorado Mountain Club (CMC) in 1935. It had been raining when they reached this spot, hence the name they christened the spire. Only a small spur of the "Drizz" is visible in the foreground as you look south to the Grand and other peaks, with the Jackson Hole to the left.
