I'm going to be making a road trip out west to several national parks this June. I'm going to go to the Tetons, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Park. I want to know which graduated neutral density would be the best for mountain scenery. I have already purchased a Lee Filter Holder and a 77mm wide angle adapter I just need to know which filter will be the most useful.

well, I might think that a .6 or .9 ND soft edge might be good for these situations based on what they are typically used for but I would be interested in hearing other's opinions on this as well.

I agree with a 3-stop (0.9) soft edge. I've heard other people feather the filter up and down so it's really difficult to tell there was one used.
