The T.A. Moulton Barn along Mormon Row near Jackson, Wyoming is one of the most photographed barns in history, and for good reason. Old barns elegantly carry on a part of the history and culture of the American west, and this one sits under a backdrop of one of the most magnificent mountain ranges in the entire western United States, the rugged Teton Range. I remember being awed in my younger years by photos of this barn in such a glorious location, and I have dreamed of getting the opportunity to capture an image of it myself. In late March of 2026, my wife and I traveled to visit family in Idaho Falls, and I made a 3:30am trip from there to Jackson, arriving before daylight. I explored the other barns and homesteads by flashlight until the sunrise colors began to appear and took several images at sunrise. As I later walked the road to this barn, the warm, golden sunlight was washing across the fields and buildings but had not yet reached the Tetons in the background, which created the perfect conditions for a photo without over-exposed bright snow on the mountains. The warmth of the foreground contrasts perfectly with the snow-covered Teton Range.
