Last September and October I spent a few days in the Grand Tetons photographing the fall colors. It was going to be a trip with fall colors everywhere, but it turned out that the fall colors were actually really weird. Some places perfect colors, others still green like the leaves had just sprouted, and yet other places where it appeared the leaves had fallen weeks before.
Luckily there is a lot to photograph in the Grand Tetons, and after my visit there I think that time of year is a great time to go, but overall the fall colors aren’t a major reason to actually go to the Grand Tetons. If you want to focus on fall colors there are many places with more variety of potential colors closer together.
I did have a chance to visit quite a few iconic places while there and this picture above is from Schwabacker Landing along the Snake River. I love the reflections in the still area of water and even more love it as a panorama. That is one thing about the Tetons, they seem to have been designed for panoramas!
