The overlook offers dramatic panoramic views of the Snake River, winding its wide loops through the Jackson Hole valley, framed by the majestic Teton Range in the background. The viewpoint became famous through legendary landscape photographer Ansel Adams' famous 1942 black-and-white photograph "Snake River, Grand Teton National Park." The overlook is centrally located in the park, about halfway between Moose and Moran Junction. It is located off the main Scenic Drive, along with a large parking lot.
