At first light the Tetons don’t whisper — they edge forward, a black-and-white silhouette sharpening into granite as the sun slips behind it. A high-roof Ford Transit eases down the highway, leather seats warm and windows wide, while a guide points the van toward Jenny Lake. The air carries a cold clarity that makes every breath feel purposeful; cranes and eagles move like punctuation in the valley below.
