Days 2 through 5 – Day to Day Opportunities as they arise. (The Southeast, the North, Snake River)
*The following opportunities will be arranged day-to-day as weather and wildlife conditions dictate.*
The Southeast
Much of our time and energy will be spent in the southern section of Jackson Hole which will include the Grand Teton National Park and Bridger-Teton National Forest. Key areas will include Mormon Row, Antelope Flats, the Gros Ventre River and Mountains, and Shadow Mountain. This is the classic Jackson Hole and Grand Teton experience.
Stunning landscapes with sweeping vistas of the Tetons, classic images of the old Mormon barns and cabins with the Tetons in the background, bison and calves, pronghorn, moose, big horn sheep, wildflowers galore, and several lesser known areas of the valley that are a treasure trove of images waiting to be created.
Moose Wilson and the steps of the Tetons (SOUTHWEST).
This wildlife hotspot provides us with some of our best opportunities for nesting birds, black bears and classic images of moose wading out in the water to feed, plus elk with calves in aspen groves. This location will be somewhat flexible and depending upon weather and other wildlife sightings that we receive from our contacts in the park, we could end up here at different times on multiple days!
The North
The northern end of the valley offers Oxbow Bend for another classic sunrise. From here we will then venture off into lesser traveled areas in search of wildflowers, macro photography, bears, wolves, elk, and landscapes.
The Snake
The Snake River is an integral part of the Teton landscape, often offering a breath-taking sunrise reflections of the Tetons. There are many other vantage points along the river that will offer unique, quiet wildlife and landscape opportunities.
Day 6 – Open Day
Today’s activities will be decided the night before and will be contingent upon what we have seen and photographed as well as reports we have received from our local contacts.
Day 7 – Return Home
Depending upon flight departure times, we may choose to spend the morning photographing the sunrise nearby. From here, we will say our farewells and depart our separate ways!
