Schwabacher Landing is one of the most spectacular sunrise photography locations in Grand Teton national park. Along with two famous Moulton Barns along Mormon Row, the unique riverside viewpoint at Schwabacher Landing is the reason thousands of nature and landscape photographers visit this truly stunning part of America each year. If there is one single location showcasing the immense natural beauty of Grand Teton, it is Schwabacher Landing. Any time of day you will be able to take stunning photographs, but sunrise is the best and most popular time to visit the landing for photographers.
Rugged peaks along the Teton range glow under the first light of day and river surface water is motionless. This scene creates the perfect opportunities for print-worthy mountain reflection photographs in the Snake River.
From the parking lot, hike north along a small channel of the Snake River about 350 m. to a large beaver dam. Beaver constantly work to enlarge and reinforce their dams.
