2019 proved to be another incredible year for the Share the Experience Employee Photo Contest. The quality of the photos was superb making it ever more difficult for our judges to pick a winner.
The winning photos were selected based on their exemplary photographic qualities and their amazing representations of the spectacular recreational opportunities offered through our federal lands and waters. We are proud to present the 2019 winners.
The Grand Prize photo was taken by Peter Mangolds, National Park Service, while at Grand Teton National Park. Here is what he had to say about the photo:
"This photo was taken in the fall of 2019 in Grand Teton National Park. I had been watching the moose for several days and when I saw that they were heading towards the stream I knew they would cross. I quickly drove as close as I could, got out and hurried over to a safe distance away and actually climbed in the water to get the angle I was hoping for. I had only hoped that they were just going to cross but when the first one stopped to drink I knew it would be something amazing but never did I expect all four to stop, line up, and drink together."
