Snake River overlook was made famous
by Ansel Adams in his national parks series of photos. It
is usually photographed while green in the month of June.
Personally I find these shots pale when viewed beside the
surreal glow of a winter sunrise. Be prepared for temperatures
of 10 to 20 below fahrenheit if you choose to capture that
glow.
TIMES
Ansel Adams took his famous photo in late
afternoon just before sunset, as the sun was about to drop
behind the Grand Teton. It is very difficult to find the
clouds in just the right position to make that shot work.
It is far easier to get the typical sunrise shot in the
early summer or better yet the dead of winter.
