Choosing the Right Location for a Winter Engagement Proposal
Winter brings a quiet stillness to Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park—and with it, a fresh perspective on familiar places. Many favorite photo locations are still accessible in colder months, and some even feel more peaceful and scenic with a layer of snow.
A few standout options include:
- Glacier View Turnout – Wide-open space with panoramic views, even when the peaks are partially covered.
- Windy Point Turnout – A close to the mountains overlook right on the road with beautiful light and mountain views.
- Taggart Lake Trailhead – An easy-to-access spot with open space, and a mountain backdrop.
- Top of the Gondola – Jackson Hole Mountain Resort – For couples looking for something adventurous and elevated, the gondola offers a dramatic alpine setting on clear days. Buy a Gondola ticket prior to the day.
Each location offers a different feel—from expansive and dramatic to quiet and intimate. We’ll recommend spots based on the conditions, light, and the look you’re drawn to most.
What to Wear for a Grand Teton Winter Engagement Session
Think layers, textures, and colors that pop against snow. Neutrals and earth tones work beautifully, especially when paired with wool coats, scarves, or even a blanket for cozy shots.
Pro tip: Choose footwear that balances style with function—sleek winter boots or heeled options with good traction can elevate your look while still working well in snowy conditions. We often keep hand warmers on standby, and we work quickly so you’re never out in the cold for long.

About Glacier View Turnout
Located off the Outer park road, Glacier View Turnout offers one of the most iconic, panoramic views of the Teton range. In winter, the snow-covered sagebrush flats create a clean, minimalist foreground that draws the eye straight to the mountains. It’s easily accessible by car (as long as the roads are open), which makes it ideal for winter sessions when hiking isn’t an option.
