I have been visiting Grand Teton National
Park since 1975. It wasn't until 2006 that I
discovered Schwabacher Landing. I now take all of my visitors there. I will urge any tourist to visit if they sport a nice camera. I am an unabashed "fanboy" of Schwabacher Landing. As you can see from the photo above, Schwabacher Landing is a particularly beautiful area in Grand Teton National Park. |
| How do you get there? |
|
The turnoff to Schwabacher Landing is located on the
outer park road about four miles north of Antelope Flats Road. There will be two scenic pullouts that you pass by on this road before you come to Schwabacher Landing Road. The turnoff is a very short distance past the second of the two scenic pullouts. The sign that announces the turnoff will be located on the left hand (west) side of the road. It is not a large sign so keep your eyes peeled. |
| Once you make the left turn, drive that road until it comes to a dead end at a parking lot. There will be a rest room on your right just before the parking lot. |
| Park your car. Takeout your camera. Hike down the short hill from the parking lot and follow the trail. Take your time so you don't miss out. |
| What will you see once you get there? |

Reflections There is quite a good sized beaver dam which provides some great reflections of the Teton Range and trees in your photos. Reflection photos |
