Grand Tetons

[Terry Hayden]

Greetings troops -

I will be going through the Grand Tetons next month and
thought I'd ask for pointers on locations.

I know it's all spectacular, but I've only been through
there briefly, and that was 20 years ago.

So, any "hot spots" not to be missed? Any off the
main road areas to check out?

Thanks in advance.

I worked in Jackson, WY at The Bunnery for several summers years ago and had the opportunity to spend much of my off- work time exploring the area, for which I shal always be grateful.
Just north of Jackson on the main road there are many "Scenic Turnouts" that offer nice, although somewhat generic, views of the mountains from the highway. There is a place called "Schwabaucher's Landing" (Schwambacher? Schwau...?) that is a landing for boats to get into the river that gives you a view a bit different from that from the highway.
The last time I was in the area, a couple of years ago, I went by D & D Camera Corral in downtown Jackson and got a brochure that showed you how to get to several good places for shooting, including the barn on Mormon Row and the remains of a cabin that was used in the movie "Shane". They were also very generous with their time talking about where they like to go.
Good luck, have a great time.

I would say that the "snake river turnout" is your classic AA Tetons shot. I think one of my favorite scenic area to search for shots is along jenny lake. you'll need to enter the park in order to get there. don't enter from Moran jct. though enter from moose turn off into grand teton park. it is also a locals secret that a moose hangs out at the "ironically enough" moose campgrounds in the morning. colter bay is a great little lake between Teton and Yellowstone. it has cabins and camping if you wanted to stay. I think those are the top spots in my mind
