Description
Oxbow Bend is an overlook along highway 89/191 between Jackson Lake Junction and Moran Junction, in Teton National Park.
This early morning image was taken shortly after the sun lit up the golden trees in front of Mount Moran. This view of the Snake River with Mount Moran's reflection is iconic and is probably the most recognized image of Grand Teton National Park
An oxbow is a crescent-shaped section of river lying alongside a flowing, winding river. The oxbow is created over time as erosion and deposits of soil change the river's course.
Oxbow Bend is home to a variety of birds and animals, including pelicans, Great Blue Herons, muskrats, otters, moose, and bear. On calm days, Mount Moran can be seen reflected on the surface of the water. Oxbow Bend is a popular area to view sunrise or sunset, and is visited by photographers hoping to capture the river and Teton Range.
Photo taken on September 29, 2020, in Teton National Park, Wyoming.
