Mormon Row & Schwabacher Landing

There are two seldom seen (because it requires going 1/2 mile off the main road) sights.

Coming up from Jackson, the first is the Mormon Row barns. You turn east (right) at Antelope Flats Rd and go about 1/4 mile to Mormon Row Rd. One barn is to the left and the other to the right. Obviously best very early in the AM to get the sun behind you and the mountains behind the barns.

The second is Schwabacher Landing. The turnoff has a sign. It's a minute or two above the Mormon Row turnoff. A dirt road to the left (west) and down for about 1/2 mile. Again, early in the morning so the sun is behind you. The draw here is that down at the level of the Snake River you get the reflection of the mountains in the river.

That unofficial trail up that hill behind Grand Prismatic Spring starts at the Fairy Falls parking lot. You hike the first mile of that hike until you're opposite Grand Prismatic Spring. Then look to the left until you find that unofficial trail up the hill. Amazing views of GPS.

I could go back there again.
