Please note that this road is closed in the Winter months, and trailers and RV's are prohibited. Wildflowers are abundant here in Summer, and Fall colors are gorgeous. You can then walk up the paved path to the West to get to Jackson Point Overlook where you will see gorgeous views of the Teton Range, including Mt. You will arrive at a parking lot, where you will see the East View Overlook, with views of the Jackson Hole Valley below. Once you get to the top, it's a dead-end. Black bears and mule deer are frequently seen in the Signal Mountain area. The road is narrow so drive slowly and enjoy the scenery. The drive begins just about a mile from Signal Mountain Lodge and there is a large sign marking the beginning of the road. Once at the top, you will be treated to beautiful views of the Teton Range, Jackson Lake, and the Snake River, as well as the Teton Valley below. This 5 mile drive (10 miles round-trip) switchbacks up a tree-lined paved road to the top of Signal Mountain Summit. One of the prettiest drives in the park, Signal Mountain Road is located just about a mile from the Signal Mountain Lodge. This will add more depth, emotion and appeal to your photo.This scenic and peaceful drive through large stands of conifers provides plenty of opportunities for wildlife viewing as well as panoramic views of the Teton Range and Jackson Hole Valley. When composing a photo, don’t put the horizon or your primary subject in the middle of the photo. Using a tripod is best for sharp, non-blurry images. ![]() Landscape photography often is best in low light like sunrise and sunset and your camera will use slower shutter speeds to take a picture. Please don’t walk up to bison – it’s not safe. Your smartphone will not allow you to zoom in for close-ups, and you must stay 400 feet away from wildlife. The clouds will turn many shades of red while the peaks will be black with white snow. Tip: If puffy summer clouds hover above the peaks at sunset, zero in on the peaks and clouds as the sun goes down. You’re likely to see a wandering coyote or a lone buffalo in summer if you look in the flats to the east of the road. Grand scenic pictures with something interesting in the foreground always make better photographs.īetween the pine forest surrounding Jackson Lake and the Moose Entrance, there are several pullouts in open sage flats and meadows with each one giving you different views of the Tetons. Tip: Look for interesting logs, rocks or formations on the shore for your focal point. Nestled in the pine forest and away from the crowds at Oxbow Bend, this peaceful place may be all yours at sunrise. However, the best images are created from the shoreline, which can be reached from a set of stairs. You can capture the heart of the Teton Range reflecting in the lake and Cascade Canyon from the parking lot. We think this spot offers some of the prettiest photo opportunities anywhere in the park. If it is breezy, try placing rocks from the shoreline in the bottom of your picture. Tip: Morning offers the best light on the peaks and the lake water is often still for reflections. North of the dam and behind the lodge, in the sage flats, is a great place in the fall to capture an image of a bulk elk bugling in the background. Signal Mountain Lodge provide easy access to the lake. The lake provides spectacular images of the Tetons reflecting in the water during summer and fall. Tip: Include plenty of water and plant life in the foreground to add depth of field and grandeur to your images. If you go to the river’s edge, stay low to keep yourself out of the frame of other photographers. The prime spots are found on the west side of the parking lot and close to the river. Sunrise from this vantage point is magical and in summer and fall it is common to see more than 100 photographers at first light. Located just a few miles into the park from the northern entrance at Moran Junction, the best time of day is from dawn until 9 a.m. You might also see moose, s wans, geese or eagles at this spot. This location offers one of the most iconic views of the park because it captures the Snake River and Mount Moran in one breathtaking image. We’ll share some of our favorite places along Teton Park Road to capture photographs that will astound family and friends. These images explain why photographers from all over the world come here to create some beautiful pictures. ![]() A trip to the ranch almost requires a visit to Grand Teton National Park where you’ll come across the majesty of the park’s wildlife and its mesmerizing vistas. ![]()
