Here’s another image from 10 years ago.
Schwabacher's Landing is a boat landing along the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park. Everybody takes a photo here! It is only about 5 miles north of the park’s main headquarters in Moose, Wyoming and the river is easily accessed by a short gravel road. It is so accessible that it is a popular location for wedding ceremonies. In fact, one was underway off to the right. The park issues wedding permits for $100.
As you can see, the view is extraordinary. One reason this view is so popular for photographers is that I am standing only a short walk from the parking area. The combination of dramatic mountains in the background and a classic water reflection in the foreground make for some awesome images.
I converted this image to black and white because the harshness of the noon sun just didn't work in color. The next time I am here I want to get there at sunrise, though likely there'd be a very full parking lot.
