I will be in Jackson Hole on business end of next week. I will have about 3 days to shoot while I am there. I am looking for landscape images. Suggestions on places to go? Any good photo guidebooks of the area? Advice?

Any info is much appreciated.

Well if you've never been there then you can always try your hand at the old favorites. Oxbow Bend, Snake River Overlook, Schwabachers Landing, Jenny Lake, Mormon Row/Moulton Barns. Sunrise, morning, and (sometimes) sunset are best. I will be happy to be your personal photo guide. :biggrin:

All suggestions above are perfect. Easy to get to, which is nice on a business trip. I used to go up there for business quite a bit, and was able to shoot sunrise somewhere and still get back into town for an 8:30AM meeting. As mentioned above, sunrise is best. After shooting there a number of times over the course of a few years, I was not once able to get a good sunset shot. I've seen a few online, but the clouds need to be just right to get it to work out. So, definitely plan around sunrise, and any good sunset shots would be a bonus.

I'd also recommend Jedediah's House of Sourdough for some good pancakes. The other popular breakfast in town is Bubba's. Both are good local hangouts.

I've got some books at home, but not sure how much those would help. I'd recommend stopping by a Park visitor center when you get into town and browsing the books there. They should have tons.

And HERE'S a good page which I believe covers all the locations mentioned above, and more.
