Grand Teton Rolled Canvas Prints
The Oxbow Bend pullout is just one mile east of Jackson Lake Junction on the Highway. It is on the way to Yellowstone, and is a great stop if you are just touring Grand Teton as well. An oxbow bend in a river is formed when the river meanders, or curves sharply, due to erosion of the bank from water flow. After a long period of time, the meander becomes much curved, and the water course widens and gets shallower. The slow-moving water provides habitat for fish including suckers and trout that are food for river otters, ospreys, bald eagles, American white pelicans and common mergansers. You can look for swimming beavers and muskrats, and even the moose that browse on willows at the water edge. Elk occasionally graze in the open aspen groves uphill to the east. Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park is without a doubt the most photographed place in the entire park. The image of the Snake River with Mount Moran reflection is iconic and is probably the most recognized image of Grand Teton National Park throughout the world. Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park is located just a little over a mile straight east of the Jackson Lake Junction. Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park is one of the best places in the park to see moose, river otters, black bears and the occasional grizzly bear. There is also a wide variety of water fowl and birds of prey. The autumn colors in Grand Teton National Park are world-famous, and especially at Oxbow Bend. Thousands of photographers congregate here during the last week of September to catch the incredible gold, yellows and reds as the aspens turn.
