Description
The calmness of an early sunrise was a joy to behold at the beautiful Schwabacher's Landing. This duck had the river to itself under the Grand Teton Mountains. The only noise came from the quacking of the ducks as they flew in and landed or squabbled on the river.
This is one of the most beautiful locations to visit and experience, let alone photograph. The reflection of the Teton Mountains in the still, flat water of the Snake River is stunning.
This location is called Schwabacher Landing and is a boat landing located a few miles south of Snake River Overlook, along the east shore of the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, U.S..
The boat landing is located off the combined U.S. Route 26/89/187, 5 miles (16 km) north of the park's main headquarters at Moose, Wyoming. The landing is accessed via a dirt road immediately north of Moose and is impassable in the winter. Fishermen, canoeists and rafters use the landing to gain access to the Snake River, and it is one of four locations in Grand Teton National Park where the river is easily accessed.
Wildlife including moose, pronghorn, mule deer, and bald eagles are commonly seen near the landing. Above the landing, along the main highway, some of the finest vistas of the Teton Range, are available and a number of excellent images have been painted and photographed from that vantage point.
