About Snake River Overlook

This paved pullout in Grand Teton National Park is where Ansel Adams made his 1942 photograph of the Teton Range rising above the winding Snake River. Trees have grown up since then and now hide much of the river's S curve, but the mountain skyline is still wide open. A short paved path and low wall lead to the view from the parking area, and sunrise is a favorite time for photographers.
