About the Image

"The opening of the west was not all long hours and hard work. There were also times of leisure, especially for the young. And what a more spectacular playground than in the shadows of the majestic Tetons. Spring has arrived and the snow is retreating up the mountain slopes. Flowers have begun to bloom, and in the distance, elk move out of sheltered valleys to higher ground. Look closely and you can see the bull elk proudly displaying his new velvet antlers."
