Jackson Lake, liquid heart of Grand Teton National Park and important water source for the Snake River, on a recent late summer day. In the year this photo was taken, many reaches of the lake were left high and dry following drought conditions (expected to become the new norm with climate change) and irrigators in Idaho demanding that their water be released. In decades to come, whose interests will take precedent—ecological and economic interests in Jackson Hole or potato growers downstream? Photo by Todd Wilkinson
