Busy all day long, but a very popular sunrise or sunset location. Early morning moose activity in the fall and busy beavers in 3 ponds not afraid to make appearances for people!

My wife and I have now made two visits to Grand Teton National Park, the first time in September 2011 and most recently in July 2014. During both trips we made two or three stops at Schwabacher Landing to take in the views. Each time we are rewarded with spectacular vistas of the Teton Range along with mirror-like reflections of the mountains in the water along the trail. I think this is my favorite photo op location in the park (there are many so it is hard to pick). Plus there are usually critter sightings here as well. We have not been lucky enough to see any of the big critters while at Schwabacher Landing, but there are many smaller animals and usually songbirds and ducks.When we visited in 2011, the access road down to the parking area was very rough, particularly the section from the intersection with route 89 and down the hill. Ruts and washboard made this a tough drive. When we visited in 2014 we were tickled to discover that this section of the access road had recently been paved so we had a smooth ride to the bottom of the hill. Once down on the flat section the road is again dirt and gravel, but it is level and graded so easy to traverse.There are usually always a few folks taking photos or even painting at Schwabacher Landing, but there is room for everyone. Sunrise is a great time for lighting at Schwabacher Landing.Note, there are restroom facilities at the parking area.

We stopped at a quiet time and were warned by others who were leaving that we would need our insect repellant. They were right, and we were glad that we took their advice before walking the short distance from the parking lot to the water. We learned at the park that beavers do their work at night, so we didn't see any beavers, but we saw plenty of felled trees and two beaver dams that created a lake at the landing. I found myself fascinated by the beaver's work and by the lovely thistles. Don't forget to take photos of the mountains reflected in the water. This site is best on a sunny day to get the reflection in the water. On a densely cloudy day, the water just seems to reflect clouds.

If you want to get great sunrise shots start here in the dark and wait. After you get your shots head straight to the northern barn on Mormon Row and you can catch the first light hitting the barn then head to the southern barn because the light hits that one about a half hour after the northern barn!

Schwabchers Landing is a stunning place for a sunrise photo, especially if the water is still. Lots of other photographer here in the mornings but plenty of room for many more. We also saw 2 moose on the road just before the parking area. Just a beautiful place with stunning landscapes.

Get here early. The good spots are taken quickly. Don't stop right after the parking spot where everybody may stay and shoot photos, but follow the path along the river further around 1/4 miles or so and you find the really good location with calm water and mirroring trees and mountains in the water, really beautiful.

Go to Oxbow Bend just east of Jackson Junction, and go to Moran Junction turn south 9.8 miles to the Snake River Overlook, the bonus shot is to keep going and take the next road to the right down to the river. Hike along the river and get the pine and aspen in your shot. Get back on the road and take the next left to get the old barn with the mountains in the background.

The best spot to just take it all in in my opinion. You are set on a creek where the beaver have done their thing, your back is to the traffic and you can't hear it so just sit and enjoy the reflection off the water. Only noise here is the tourists.

We went here twice, once in the early morning and another time around 11:00. First time got pictures of Mountain Bluebirds, Red Squirrel and a Sora in flight. Second time, focused on getting the many angles of reflections of the Tetons in the stream. Alas, we never got a photo of the many busy beavers.

This spot is not known for a lot of people, but I have seen professional photographer with fancy gears here. You should visit at around sunrise time, the view takes your breath way. The road has been improved, the harder to drive part has been paved, so you should be able to get to the lower landing parking area with 2WD car. The view is great in front of the parking lot but you can hike a bit further in, when the professional photographer set up the stage for shooting.
