Last fall, at the peak of the rut, photographer Denver Bryan made his way up a hill and spotted this doe just as she spotted him. Only then did he notice the buck also in attendance, his 10-point rack floating eerily behind her. Bryan had seen other does that morning, but this one was clearly in estrus and the buck was not going anywhere without her. “If he needed to bed down and wait, he was going to do it.”

“I go wherever I have to go to catch fish, whether belly down on big rocks or belly deep in waves,” says Scott Morrison, who scaled this granite formation last October to drift a Parachute Adams over the cutthroat and rainbow trout below. The fish don’t usually break the 10-inch mark in this tributary to the Clarks Fork River, but to Morrison, the challenge and beauty of fishing the canyon outweighs the size of the fish. “The rocks are so finely eroded and the stream kicks up so much mist that it’s very slippery, but very fun.”
