Sunrise at Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA

Mind-blowing beauty like the kind pictured in today"s image is one reason people keep coming back to Wyoming, US, and the Grand Teton National Park. Named "les trois tétons" by early French trappers, the Grand Teton National Park was created in 1929 by conservationists including John D. Rockefeller Jr. The park is home to a virtually untouched ecosystem of plants and animals, such as grizzly bears, wolves, bison, moose and bald eagles.
