Schwabacher’s Landing is one of America’s most spectacular viewpoints, a location that truly showcases the immense beauty of Grand Teton National Park. Just south of Yellowstone National Park, the north-south Teton Range stretches about 40 miles across Wyoming. Bison and elk often are seen grazing in the sparse fields along the base of the mountain range. Toward the northeastern side of the mountains is Jackson Lake. With more than 10 miles of shoreline, the lake offers beautiful crystal-clear reflections in the early morning. The trip to Schwabacher’s Landing is simple. If you’re leaving from Jackson Hole, go north on I-89 for about 16 miles. There’s a small gravel road on your left, where you’ll see a wooden sign: “Schwabacher’s Landing Road.” This road dead-ends in a gravel parking lot, and the trek to the famous vantage point is a stone’s throw from your car. Schwabacher Landing sits at the end of a one-mile gravel road in Jackson Hole about 8 miles from the entrance to the Grand Teton National Park. The landing was formerly a common starting point for rafting trips, but the river channel has shifted westward, making access difficult. We left Yellowstone early in the morning because I wanted to make sure we got to the Schwabacher Landing to catch the morning sun. When we got there there were already a dozen photographers with tripods at various places along the waterfront. This was an incredible stop and a great place to capture the reflections of the Tetons against still water.
