Discover Teton
6 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights
Teton Scenic Byway
A paved mountain spine linking Tetonia to the Teton Range — shoot sweeping panoramas of the Grand and Middle Tetons, alpine meadows, grazing elk, and reflective river/pond pullouts. Best at sunrise and sunset for low, warm light and dramatic silhouettes; late spring–early summer shows wildflowers, winter offers stark snowy contrasts. Road is accessible year-round where plowed; free to drive with frequent pullouts and small parking areas. Expect variable mountain weather and rural etiquette near牧
Teton Outlook
A roadside overlook with sweeping views of the Teton Range and valley — ideal for wide landscape frames, dramatic cloudscapes and seasonal light across ranchland. Best at sunrise and golden hour when peaks glow; clear mornings give crisp mountain detail, late summer offers wildflowers, winter provides snow contrast. Easily reached by car (pullout/lot nearby), no entry fee; bring layers for mountain weather and arrive early on summer weekends to secure a spot.
Ko'olaupoko Ranch
Wide, open ranchlands framed by Teton Range ridges — excellent for sweeping landscape shots, seasonal color (wildflowers in late spring, snow-capped peaks in winter) and intimate ranch-detail images (fences, barns). Access may be limited; confirm entry with landowner. Best light: golden hour sunrise for eastern ridgeline backlight, sunset for warm valley tones. Expect rural dirt roads and simple parking; 4WD may help after rain. Pack layers for rapid mountain weather changes.
Teton Valley Historical Museum
Small local museum in downtown Driggs documenting Teton Valley history with period interiors, artifacts, archival photos, and a historic exterior framed by the Teton Range. Best photographed at golden hour when warm light hits the facade and nearby peaks; weekday mornings are quieter for interiors. Easy street parking; small admission or donation—ask staff before photographing artifacts or people. Wheelchair accessible main floor.
Ashton-Tetonia Trail Trailhead
Trailhead on a converted rail grade offering open meadows, cottonwoods and views down the Ashton-Tetonia corridor toward the Teton Range. Shoot sweeping landscapes, river reflections and seasonal wildflowers — stunning at sunrise/sunset and in autumn color. Easy gravel parking at Egbert Ave, no permits; accessible year-round though deep snow in winter may require snowshoes. Small-town, historic-railroad context adds charm; weekdays and golden hours mean fewer people and best light.
Welcome to Wyoming sign
A classic roadside 'Welcome to Wyoming' sign set against open plains and often the Teton foothills—great for travel-story shots, wide landscapes with the sign as foreground anchor, and seasonal contrasts (wildflowers, snow). Easily reached from US‑89/ID‑/state line with a small pullout; parking limited to a few cars. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side-light on the sign and mountains; clear skies give crisp distant peaks, while dramatic clouds add mood. No entry fees; be mindful of highway,畜
