MORMON BARN (NORTH)
A BRIEF SUMMARY OF MORMON BARN (NORTH)
Mormon Barn (North) - the historic old barns on Mormon Row are some of the most photographed barns in the country. The Mormon north barn and the T.A. Moulton Barn (South) are only about ¼ mile apart on the same road.
The north barn has a different look than the south barn and is popular with photographers. It has an old rustic western look with the Grand Tetons sitting right above the peak of the barn. There are tons and tons of ways to shoot the north barn: wide angle, from the side, way back, a compression shot, sunrise, midday, in the spring, or with snow.

DATA POINTS INCLUDED WITH MORMON BARN (NORTH) SUMMARY
I would rate the difficulty of this trail as a 1 on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being most difficult). The location is easy to access (except in the winter) and only a 100 yards from the parking area. After a hard rain, the dirt road is can be very muddy and sometimes impassable.
The shot for the Mormon Barn is fairly straightforward. As mentioned, I like to stand 50-75yrds back from the barn in the shrubs. Other photographers shoot just in front of or to the left of the barn.
The key for the morning shot is to catch the exact moment the sun crest the back hill and illuminates the shrubs and foreground.
Lens focal length from 24mm - 200mm can be used in this location, all dependent on the composition you choose.
