Schwabacher Landing in Grand Teton National Park, USA
A river ran through it
This mountain range's crooked profile is no stranger to the camera. A favourite subject of the pioneering nature photographer Ansel Adams, it's also been the backdrop to Hollywood Westerns, such as the classic "Shane". You'll find great views of the Tetons all over this national park, but some of the best are from here on the floodplain surrounding the Snake River. This spot, Schwabacher Landing, was once a popular launch for rafters and canoers, but was cut off from the main flow as the river changed course. Now it's better known for calm, reflective waters and busy resident beavers, at least until the rushing Snake slithers this way again someday.

It's only because of Yellowstone that this isn't the most visited national park in its sparsely populated state.
