More GwinnettForum readers than you think have been to Wyoming, you would think, from the response to the last mystery. Identifying the photo of the Cathedral Group of mountain peaks in the Grand Teton National Park were many, including  Mike Tennant, Duluth; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Kay Montgomery, Duluth; Ben Haynes, Buford; Tanya Moore, Norcross; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; and Stew Ogilvie of Rehobeth, Ala., who sent along this view of Slide Lake, where he stayed a week 18 years ago.The photo came from Ann Royster of Shelby, N.C., who travels often, via her sister, Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.

Allen Peel of San Antonio, Tex. provided additional information: “Today’s mystery photo features a gorgeous sunrise view of part of the Cathedral Group of mountain peaks in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. The photo was shot approximately seven miles from Jackson Hole. The trail is short and easy and is very popular for catching sunrise and sunset photos of the tallest part of the Teton Mountain Range.
