USA Oxbow Bend at sunset

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
Simple pull-off in Grand Teton National Park. The wildlife and scenery are spectacular throughout the park. Among dozens of great locations in the park, Oxbow Bend is arguably the most iconic photo spot with shots of Mt. Moran reflecting off of Snake River in the early morning and is one of only a few great sunset locations.

Photography Tips

If there is no wind you must come here because it's rare indeed. Be patient and courteous with other photographers. People flock to this area throughout the day but especially just before sunrise when photographers and their tripods line the riverbank and roadside shoulder to shoulder for 150 yards. Most of them play nice but there’s always a few who are oblivious to the people around them and will walk into your long exposure shot. Don’t be one of those guys.
