Tiny spent many summers in Grand Teton National Park exploring the trails, mountains, and scenery. He went backcountry skiing in the winter, camping with his family in the summer, and generally wandered the hills as often as he could. He was a naturalist ranger in the park for a few summers and enjoyed his interactions with the visitors to the Park.
The summer of 1955 was spent cataloging and sketching the wildflowers in Grand Teton National Park. He was working on the sketches that would be included in the famous A Field Guide to Rocky Mountain Wildflowers by John Craighead, Frank Craighead, and Ray Davis.
