I need directions to the barn outside of Jackson, WY. The one everybody (but me) has taken a picture of. I have been told that it is somewhere near Moose, on the way to Jackson Hole from Yellowstone.
Thanks,
Keith

All you have to do is look up Mormon Row barn on the net. Found these on the forum:
Lies between Gros Ventre road and Antelope Flats road. Coming from Jackson take a right at Gros Ventre junction. Follow through about 5 kms to just past the Gros Ventre campsite and its on your left.
Good luck.

Here's a picture (which is not mine, but readily available via Panoramio):

Now that I looked at those directions, I'm not sure that they are right. However, I got you some GPS coordinates instead.
43°39'38.37"N
110°39'54.55"W
Also, it's called the Moulton Barn. Try that instead.

If you're coming down from Yellowstone, the barns are towards the south end of GTNP. There are two main roads through GTNP...you'll want to be on the outer road. Follow it down to the Gros Ventre Junction and turn left. Follow this for about a mile or two and you'll see a parking area on your left. The more famous of the two barns (shameless picture below) is at this location...if you walk south from this barn, the second barn is about 1/4-mile or so down the road (see the picture in one of the above posts). You'll have to get there early...it fills up fast with photogs and sightseers. Find a good vantage and stake your claim. IMO, the barns are best shot at sunrise as they and the Tetons are lit up from the sun. The link below will take you to a map of GTNP (most of the well-known shooting locales are along the outside road...Snake River, Schwabacher Landing, Barns, etc). Don't forget about Oxbow Bend either.
