SCHWABACHER’S LANDING
A BRIEF SUMMARY OF SCHWABACHER’S LANDING
Schwabacher’s Landing is easily one of the most popular spots in the Jackson Hole area. It is a great place for photographers to capture the amazing Tetons with a classic water reflection in the foreground. In my opinion, this location offers the most beautiful view in the Grand Tetons.
There are 3 great shots from this one location—all within a ¼ mile from the parking lot and only a few hundred yards from another. The shot above was taken from location #2. If you are in the Jackson Hole area and only have time for one location, this should be your choice.

I would rate the difficulty of the hike as a 1 on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being most difficult). The hike to each of the 3 locations for Schwabacher’s Landing is an easy ¼ mile walk on a well-maintained trail from the parking lot.
If you are going to shoot this location at sunrise, you will need to arrive before first light to get your spot, so you may want to scout out the location the day before to better understand the path.
Each of the shots is pretty straightforward. If you are shooting at sunrise, make sure you have your composition and your camera is set up, as the peaks of the Tetons only glow red / purple for a few moments.
